Effects of Coating on Interfacial Fatigue of Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Abstract

Coating is one of important parts in fiber-reinforced composite. Under cyclic loading, the effect of coating on interfacial fatigue is investigated based on double shear-lag model. Stresses of components are obtained. Relationship for analyzing interfacial debonding is established by the Paris Formula. Interfacial fatigue on fiber/coating and coating/matrix is simulated. It can be seen that interfacial debonding on different interfaces meet energy conservation law in general.

Reinforcement Fibers in Zinc-Rich Nano Lithium Silicate Anticorrosive Coatings

“…It is often used in coatings as extender after being crushed and classified by size (average diameter between 1.5 and 9.0 μm). It is an insulating material from the electrical point of view; it has 2.650 g.cm -3 density at 25 °C (Chen et al, 2010& Lekka et al, 2009. In this experience, quartz fibers were used with average values of 1118 μm and 95 μm for length and transverse dimension, respectively (Figure 2.C).…”
