Incremental finite element delamination model for fibre pull-out tests of elastomer-matrix composites

Prediction of interfacial behaviour of single flax fibre bonded to various matrices by simulation of microdroplet test

“…6, which is typical for polymer drops bonded to natural fibre. Frankl et al [25] considered an incremental finite element model to study the delamination behaviour of an elastomer-matrix composite. This approach provides a higher degree of flexibility to predict non-linearities in the fibre microbond experiment.…”

“…In the present work, we determine the interfacial behaviour of various thermoplastics drops bonded to single flax fibres through the simulation of the microdroplet test using finite element method. This method has been considered to study the interfacial behaviour in varieties of materials such as carbon, glass as well as natural materials [23][24][25][26]. Flax fibres are combined with a selection of thermoplastic polymers matrices with contrasting mechanical properties and behaviour.…”

A review on strengthening, delamination formation and suppression techniques during drilling of CFRP composites

“…Many studies are carried out to find the effect of drilling parameters on composites as it leads to fiber pull out, delamination, matrix cracking, poor hole quality, burr formation, and other failure damages (Aurich & Dornfeld, 2009;Frankl et al, 2019;GAF & Al-Jarrah, 2018;Heisel & Pfeifroth, 2012;Pereszlai et al, 2021;Ş & Turgut, 2020). There are several methods to avert above damages, such as the inclusion of fillers, optimizing the machining parameters, using different types of drills and so on (Othman et al, 2018).…”
