Transverse tensile behaviour of unidirectional plies reinforced with flax fibres

TL;DR: In this paper, a unidirectional flax/polyester ply is loaded in transverse tension and cracks develop in the matrix, and at the fibre/matrix interface, but they also appear within the fibres themselves and in the lamellae within the fibre bundles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contributions of sugar cane and invasive pasture grass to the aquatic food web of a tropical lowland stream

TL;DR: Stable-isotope data indicated that little of the primary production from sugar cane or other C4 plants was transferred into the aquatic food web, and it appears that in-stream primary production supported the aquatic invertebrate community.
Journal ArticleDOI

A mixed-mode failure criterion derived from tests on symmetric and asymmetric specimens

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen for mode I, end-notched flexure (ENF) for mode II and mixed-mode bending (MMB) for I/II mixedmode loading.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of the degree of retting of flax fibers on the tensile properties of single fibers and short fiber/polypropylene composites

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the degree of retting of flax on the properties of short flax fiber/polypropylene composites has been assessed by both qualitative and quantitative experimental techniques.
