Distribution of stresses in fiber/matrix interface in UD flax fiber reinforced composites is investigated under transverse loading and compared with conventional synthetic fibers. Micro-scale finite element models with representative volume elements are generated with various fiber packing types and fiber volume ratios. The study is performed for various strain values, which take into account the material nonlinearity of matrix. The results show that significantly lower stress concentrations exist in the case of flax fibers compared to glass fiber composites, explaining the absence of transverse cracks until failure in previously conducted transverse tension tests. Increase in the applied transverse strain causes a further decrease in the stress concentrations due to the nonlinear behavior of the matrix.

Strength of short fiber reinforced polymers: Effect of fiber length distribution Aykol, Muratahan; Isitman, Nihat Ali; FIRLAR, Emre; Kaynak, Cevdet (Wiley, 2008-06-01) In this study, the prediction of mechanical strength of short fiber reinforced plastics (SFRPs) is made possible by obtaining a Fiber Length Distribution (FLD) efficiency factor, eta(FLD), from the formerly known twofold discrete strengthening equation of Kelly-Tyson. The unified parameter eta(FLD) is developed involving both the effects of fiber breakage and resulting distribution, fiber volume fraction and fiber and interface properties, so that they can be incorporated into modified rule of mixtures (MRO...
Interfacial Strength in Short Glass Fiber Reinforced Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene/Polyamide 6 Blends Isitman, Nihat Ali; Aykol, Muratahan; Ozkoc, Guralp; Bayram, Göknur; Kaynak, Cevdet (Wiley, 2010-03-01) The purpose of this study is to derive the apparent interfacial shear strength of short glass fiber reinforced acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene/polyamide 6 (PA6) blends with different PA6 contents. Tensile stress-strain curves and fiber length distributions are utilized within a continuum micromechanics approach which involves a unified parameter for fiber length distribution efficiency represented as a function of strain. The unique combination of predicted micromechanical parameters is capable of accuratel...
Elastic-plastic stress analysis of a thermoplastic composite disc under linear temperature distribution Sayman, O; Pekbey, Y; Sayman, S (SAGE Publications, 2006-01-01) In the present study, an elastic-plastic stress analysis is carried out on a composite thermoplastic disc reinforced by steel fibers, curvilinearly. Radial and tangential stresses are obtained under a liner temperature distribution. The magnitude of the tangential stress component for elastic and elastic-plastic cases is higher than that of the radial stress component. The tangential stress component is compressive and tensile on the inner and outer surfaces, respectively and is the highest on the inner sur...
Electrochromic properties of 'Trimeric' thiophene-pyrrole-thiophene derivative grown from electrodeposited 6-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexan-1-amine and its copolymer Tarkuc, Simge; Ak, Metin; Onurhan, Erdal; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) A centrosymmetric polymer precursor, namely 6-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)hexan-1-amine (TPHA), was synthesized via a Knorr-Paal reaction using 1,4-di(2-thienyl)-1,4-butanedione and hexane-1,6-diamine. The resultant monomer was characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (H-1-NMR). Electroactivity of TPHA was investigated via cyclic voltammetry. The electronic structure and the nature of electrochromism in P(TPHA) and its copolymer with EDOT, (P(TPHA-co-EDOT)), were examined via spectroelectrochem...
Mechanical Performance of Resol Type Phenolic Resin/Layered Silicate Nanocomposites Tasan, C. Cem; Kaynak, Cevdet (Wiley, 2009-03-01) Clay addition has been shown to affect polymer resins positively in terms of several physical and chemical properties, including mechanical performance, high temperature endurance and durability. These increases are limited only to relatively low concentrations of reinforcement phase, but at these low concentrations polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites (P/LS NC) have shown to exhibit higher mechanical performance than fiber reinforced polymer composites. This is among the several reasons that make P/LS N...
