Abstract In this work, the effect of common functional groups, namely hydroxyl, formyl, carboxyl, and amine groups on interfacial behavior surface-modified glass fiber-reinforced epoxy is investigated at molecular scale. The properties epoxy/silica coated with different group systems are quantified by performing pulling test using steered dynamics simulations. It found that system hydroxyl has ...

We show how we can exploit our recently proposed algorithms for the solution of contact problem of elasticity to the 2D analysis of the interfacial debonding of samples that consist of several fibres embedded in a homogeneous matrix, aligned in the longitudal direction. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated on analysis of deformations of samples of the fibrous composite material.

Multiple speckle diffusing wave spectroscopy (MSDWS) can be applied to measure spatially heterogeneous mechanical behavior in soft solids, with high sensitivity deformation and both spatial temporal resolution. In this paper, we discuss the mathematical approach behind quantification of rate from MSDWS data provide guidelines for optimizing selection experimental parameters measurements. After ...

PURPOSE The debonding load of heat-activated polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) denture base resin material to a nickel-chromium-beryllium (Ni-Cr-Be) alloy conditioned by three different surface treatments and utilizing two different commercial bonding systems was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Denture resin (Lucitone-199) was bonded to Ni-Cr-Be alloy specimens treated with Metal Primer II, t...
