Fractals in fractography
TL;DR: In this paper, a modified Richardson fractal equation for profiles and fracture surfaces was proposed to obtain constant slopes from the reversed sigmoidal curve (RSC) for both profiles and surfaces respectively, where slopes from RSCs are related to the new constant fractal dimensions D β and D γ in the modified fractal equations for profiles.

Tensile strength of glass fibres with carbon nanotube–epoxy nanocomposite coating
TL;DR: In this article, a study has been made of a concept of "healing" coatings applied onto the brittle fiber surface to reduce the stress concentrations and thus to improve the reinforcing efficiency in a composite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigations on the durability of fibre–matrix interfaces in textile-reinforced concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of organic polymer sizing on the surface of the filaments as well as the disadvantageous new formation of solid hydration phases (mainly Portlandite) in the fibre-matrix interface was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glass fibre sizing: a review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed some of the most relevant articles from the widely dispersed literature available around glass fibre sizings and highlighted the fragmented nature of the knowledge base on sizes and the lack of reliable and reproducible reference materials on which to build real progress in this critical technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocomposite coatings for healing surface defects of glass fibers and improving interfacial adhesion
TL;DR: In this paper, a nanometer-scale hybrid coating layer based on styrene-butadiene copolymer with single or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs, MWCNTs) and/or nanoclays, as mechanical enhancement and environmental barrier layer, is applied to alkali-resistant glass (ARG) and E-glass fibers.

A Statistical Distribution Function of Wide Applicability
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of statistics to a wide field of problems is discussed, and examples of simple and complex distributions are given, as well as a discussion of the application of statistics in a wide range of problems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Fractal Geometry of Nature
TL;DR: A blend of erudition (fascinating and sometimes obscure historical minutiae abound), popularization (mathematical rigor is relegated to appendices) and exposition (the reader need have little knowledge of the fields involved) is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fractal character of fracture surfaces of metals
TL;DR: In this article, a new method, slit island analysis, is introduced to estimate the fractal dimension, D. The estimate is shown to agree with the value obtained by fracture profile analysis, a spectral method.
Book
Fracture Mechanics of Polymers
TL;DR: A review of fracture mechanics and its relevance to designing with plastics is given in this article, where the basic philosophy of assuming the presence of flaws is developed, and the relevant equations are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scaling properties of cracks
TL;DR: In this article, the morphology of fracture surfaces of various materials is reviewed and the observations are interpreted within the framework of models of lines moving in a random environment, which suggests that fracture of heterogeneous materials could be seen as a dynamic phase transition.
