Analysis and Performance of Fiber Composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an analysis of the properties of fiber-reinforced composites under different types of stress and failure modes, such as failure under longitudinal tensile loads, failure under transverse tensile load, and failure under In-Plane Shear Load.
Journal ArticleDOI
A theoretical study of the effect of an interfacial layer on the properties of composites
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical analysis using finite element methods has been applied to oriented short-fiber composites and spherical particle composites in order to predict the influence of a finite layer at the interface on mechanical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of particulate composites
S. Sahu,L. J. Broutman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical properties of glass bead filled epoxy and polyester resins have been studied as a function of volume fraction of filler and the strength of the interfacial bond.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moisture diffusion in epoxy resins Part I. Non-Fickian sorption processes
T. C. Wong,L. J. Broutman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a non-Fickian sorption is observed for an insufficiently cured resin and is caused by the resin undergoing further postcuring in the sorption process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Residual stresses in polymers and their effect on mechanical behavior
Paul So,L. J. Broutman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that compressive residual stresses at the surface can cause plastic yielding to occur in bending experiments resulting in permanent deformation and greater energy absorption, and that these residual stresses can influence the notched Izod impact strengths for polycarbonates.
