The fibre–matrix interface represents a vital element in the development and
characterisation of fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs). Extensive ranges of interfacial …

The high stiffness and damping properties of flax fibres promote the integration of
biocomposites in structural applications. However, the strength of flax/epoxy composites is …

Fiber pullout tests have been frequently performed to determine the interfacial properties of
fiber-reinforced composites. However, traditional experimental approaches and numerical …

A novel finite deformation FE model is developed in this paper for coupled electro-
mechanical response with crack evolution in heterogeneous piezoelectric composite …

The accurate determination of interfacial strength in composites poses a significant
challenge, a critical factor yet often complex due to the multitude of unknowns that affect the …

Single fibre micro-composite tests are among the most reliable methods for characterising
the fibre–matrix interphase. To improve their versatility, this study utilises a well …

The viscoelastic behavior of wood pulp fibers plays a fundamental role in the performance of
paper and paper products. Wood pulp fibers are hierarchical composites consisting of …

The aim of this study was the development and characterization of a continuous poly (ε-
caprolactone)(PCL) coating, which was applied on glass fibers by a fluid coating method, in …

The thermo-oxidative aging behavior of carbon/matrix composite material reinforced with 3D
angle-interlock woven perform (3DAWC) was investigated experimentally and numerically …

In view of the limitations of traditional research tools on interfacial failure mechanisms in
fiber/PPESK composites, this work proposes a multiscale research tool to carry out an in …
