The subject of this work is the investigation of the stress field around a unique void in a fibre-
reinforced model composite under compression. Voids were introduced into the epoxy …

Authored by leading experts from around the world, the three-volume Handbook of
Nanostructured Thin Films and Coatings gives scientific researchers and product engineers …

A numerical study has been performed to investigate the failure process of single fiber
composite materials considering interface properties under uniaxial tensile load. In the …

Interface between fiber and matrix as a stress transfer medium determines composite
performances in load-bearing structures. For instance, failures in composite are most likely …

This paper attempts to simulate the process of fiber break in single-fiber composite
fragmentation test (SFCF). The ensued stress redistribution in fiber, matrix and interface after …

In this paper, we propose an experimental and numerical model to study the creep behavior
of the unidirectional Alfa fiber composite strength by the photoelasticity method. To have …

A detailed investigation of micro-scale damage development in uni-directional polymer
composites under longitudinal loading (loading along the fiber-direction) has been …

Interfacial stress transfer in a model hybrid composite has been investigated. An Sm3+
doped glass fibre and a high-modulus regenerated cellulose fibre were embedded in close …

The plasma polymerization technique was used to surface modify glass fibers in order to
form a strong but tough link between the glass fiber and the polyester matrix, and enable an …

The goal of this research was to investigate an experimental infrared transmission technique
to extract the full stress components of the in-plane residual stresses in thin multi crystalline …
