A Revised Shear-Lag Analysis of an Energy Model for Fiber-Matrix Debonding
نویسندگان
چکیده
A shear-lag analysis based on energy is used to predict the amount of debonding that occurs when a fiber fragment breaks into two fragments. The shear-lag analysis reproduces all features of more sophisticated analyses. A drawback of the shear-lag analysis, however, is that it depends on an unknown parameter which can be expressed in terms of an effective fiber volume fraction. If the effective fiber volume fraction can be determined (by experiments or by advanced stress analyses), the shear-lag model can be used to interpret debonding experiments.

Thermal Conductivity and Expansion of Cross- Ply Composites with Matrix Cracks
Theoretical models are developed for heat conduction and thermal expansion in a fiber-reinforced ceramic cross-ply laminate containing an array of parallel transverse matrix cracks. Two stages of the transverse matrix cracks are considered : Stage-I with tunnel cracks in the 90” plies aligned parallel to the fibers, and Stage-II with cracks extended across both the 90 and 0” plies with intact f...
متن کاملOn the Use of Shear-Lag Methods for Analysis of Stress Transfer in Unidirectional Composites
The “shear-lag” analysis method is frequently used for analysis of stress transfer between the fiber and the matrix in composites. The accuracy of shear-lag methods has not been critically assessed, in part because the assumptions have not been fully understood. This paper starts from the exact equations of elasticity for axisymmetric stress states in transversely isotropic materials and introd...
متن کاملA shear-lag model with a cohesive fibre–matrix interface for analysis of fibre pull-out
A shear-lag model with a cohesive fibre–matrix interface has been developed for the analysis of stress transfer between the fibre and the matrix in fibre-reinforced composites in this paper. A bilinear cohesive damage evolution law is used to describe the fibre–matrix interface behaviour. The governing equations for the interfacial shear stress and the axial stress in the fibre are derived. Acc...
متن کاملGeneralized Shear-Lag Analysis Including Imperfect Interfaces
Two recent papers showed that shear-lag analysis can be an effective tool for stress analysis of composites when done properly and when applied to problems for which it is appropriate. This paper extends the prior analysis of concentric cylinders to a generalized shear-lag analysis in which the transverse variations of shear stress are described by arbitrary shape functions. The shear-lag analy...
متن کاملStress Transfer Modeling in CNT Reinforced Composites using Continuum Mechanics (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Because of the substantial difference in stiffness between matrix and nanotube in CNT composite, the stress transfer between them controls their mechanical properties. This paper investigates the said issue, analytically and numerically, in axial load using representative volume element (RVE). The analytical model was established based on the modified Cox’s shear lag model with the use of some ...
