A single-fiber pull-out model composite for an aramid/epoxy system was specially designed to measure the stress distribution of the aramid fiber embedded in the matrix using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The stress transfer length of the fiber obtained was about 400-500µm, which was equal to the result of FEM analysis. Just after the initiation and propagation of the fiber/matrix interfacial debonding, the fiber was broken, and the fiber in the matrix had the axial tensile residual stress. The tensile residual fiber axial stress showed the maximum at around the tip of the interfacial debonding. The stress was reduced and became almost equal to zero after being immersed in deionized water at 80 °C for 44h. This behavior agreed with the result of FEM analysis, in which the friction coefficient was introduced in the fiber/matrix interface.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
