Effect of Fiber Extensibility on the Fracture Toughness of Short Fiber or Brittle Matrix Composites
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)A micromechanical model based on probabilistic principles is proposed to determine the effective fracture toughness increment and the bridging stress-crack opening displacement relationship for ... -
Does the Process Zone Control Crack Growth?
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)Fracture toughness tests were carried out by using small compact tension specimens of Westerly granite. Relation between the load-line displacement and the initial crack-tip separation changed ... -
Fluorescence Thermometry
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)The fluorescence of rare-earth-doped ceramic phosphors depends on temperature. Particularly, the fluorescence lifetime is decreased by temperature. This dependence makes the fluorescence suitable for ... -
Conditions for Pseudo Strain-Hardening in Fiber Reinforced Brittle Matrix Composites
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 1992)Apart from imparting increased fracture toughness, one of the useful purposes of reinforcing brittle matrices with fibers is to create enhanced composite strain capacity. This paper reviews the ... -
