The use of steel fibers as reinforcement in polymer composites is recently increasing thanks to their ductility, high stiffness and wide range of diameters. Unlike carbon and glass fibers, steel fibers often end up with a non-circular cross-section due to their manufacturing technology. This may influence the stress redistribution around fiber breaks, which is important in longitudinal tensile failure of unidirectional composites. A parametric study was performed by using 3D finite element models with randomly distributed and oriented hexagonal fibers. Rather than the fiber shape, the distance between fibers was shown to have an influence on stress concentrations in terms of both average and peak stress concentrations. The plastic behavior of steel fibers resulted in smaller stress concentrations and faster stress recovery whereas the opposite was observed for the plastic behavior of epoxy. For different strain levels, results were shown to depend on the relative stiffness of steel and epoxy in the plastic region.

Nanoclay assisted strengthening of the fiber/matrix interface in functionally filled polyamide 6 composites
Isitman, Nihat Ali; AYKOL, Muratahan; Kaynak, Cevdet (Elsevier BV, 2010-08-01)
This study describes the contribution of a nano-filler, i.e. an organically modified layered silicate, in respect of the fiber/matrix interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of a short glass fiber reinforced and functionally filled polyamide 6, given an exfoliated nanocomposite morphology. Apparent IFSS values are determined using a continuum micromechanical method. Polymer chains in the nanoconfined environment of an exfoliated clay nanocomposite are found to crystallize preferentially in the form of a specific ...
TENSILE, FLEXURAL AND IMPACT PROPERTIES OF A THERMOPLASTIC MATRIX REINFORCED BY GLASS-FIBER AND GLASS BEAD HYBRIDS
Yılmazer, Ülkü (Elsevier BV, 1992-01-01)
The tensile and flexural properties, together with the unnotched and notched impact strengths of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), glass bead (GB) and glass fiber (GF) ternary composites have been studied. The tensile strengths of the hybrid composites were predicted, from a theory formulated in this study, by using the strengths of the ABS/GB and ABS/GF composites alone. The addition of even a small quantity of glass fiber to ABS or ABS/GB composites changes the mode of deformation from one which sh...
Design of fiber-reinforced composite pressure vessels under various loading conditions
Levend, P; Katirci, N (Elsevier BV, 2002-10-01)
An analytical procedure is developed to design and predict the behavior of fiber reinforced composite pressure vessels. The classical lamination theory and generalized plane strain model is used in the formulation of the elasticity problem. Internal pressure, axial force and body force due to rotation in addition to temperature and moisture variation throughout the body are considered. Some 3D failure theories are applied to obtain the optimum values for the winding angle, burst pressure, maximum axial forc...
Comparison of damage mechanisms in curved composite laminates under static and fatigue loading
Tasdemir, B.; Çöker, Demirkan (Elsevier BV, 2019-04-01)
In this paper, damage progression in curved CFRP composite laminates are experimentally investigated for static and fatigue loadings. Two different cross-ply laminate thicknesses are examined with grouped plies to elucidate the failure mechanisms. A test fixture is designed to apply moment/axial combined loading to curved specimens and DIC method is used to obtain the strain distribution in the curved region until failure. Our major finding is that under fatigue loading, the failure location and mechanism a...
Effects of hollow glass microsphere density and surface modification on the mechanical and thermal properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) syntactic foams
ÖZKUTLU DEMİREL, MERVE; Dilek Hacıhabiboğlu, Çerağ; Bayram, Göknur (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-15)
Syntactic foams offer low density polymers for insulation and transportation applications with the advantage of having high mechanical properties. In this study, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) syntactic foams were produced with three different types of hollow glass microspheres (HGMs) as low, medium and high density. It was observed that the density of the syntactic foams was in inverse ratio to the strength properties of the syntactic foams. The lowest measured syntactic foam density was obtained with th...
