Abstract

The effects of a frictional interface on the load diffusion from a broken fiber to the surrounding matrix material and the extent of debonding near the fiber break in a single-fiber reinforced composite of infinite extent are studied by using the finite element method. The normal and shear stresses on the interface, the extent of the slip zone and the axial load of the fiber are evaluated for different frictional coefficients and material parameters for both the fiber and the matrix. A shear-lag analysis is also carried out to obtain a closed form approximate solution of the fiber load diffusion problem. The extent of the slip zone and the stresses predicted by the shear-lag model are compared with the finite element method results.
