MECHANICAL RELATIONSHIP OF REINFORCEMENTS AND THE BINDER MATRIX

Abstract

The mechanical interactions between reinforcement and matrix in a composite under load have been described by stress distribution equations in the fibers and in the matrix. Although special attention has been given to stresses resulting from polymerization and temperature shrinkage, the solutions obtained can be easily adapted for use with the boundary conditions of external loads. Several cases were considered: (1) a cylindrical filament of finite length embedded in a resin cylinder; (2) a cylindrical filament of infinite length embedded in a resin cylinder; and (3) a matrix supporting a central fiber surrounded by six symmetrically spaced fibers, each in turn surrounded by six others.
