We now consider the strength characteristics of continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composites that are loaded in the longitudinal direction.
{"Image DocumentName": "We now consider the strength characteristics of continuous and aligned fiber-reinforced composites that are loaded in the longitudinal direction.", "Image ImageDescription": "Under these circumstances, strength is normally taken as the maximum stress on the stress\u2013strain curve. Often this point corresponds to fiber fracture, and marks the onset of composite failure. Table 1 lists typical longitudinal tensile strength values for three common fibrous composites. Failure of this type of composite material is a relatively complex process, and several different failure modes are possible. The mode that operates for a specific composite will depend on fiber and matrix properties, and the nature and strength of the fiber\u2013matrix interfacial bond.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
