Considering first the extreme cases of either a perfectly soft or perfectly rigid isolated fibre, the investigation of the effect of the transverse Young's modulus ratio on the stress field resulting from the applied transverse loading is then extended to intermediate fibre matrix and interphase matrix transverse modulus ratios representative of real composite materials. Regarding the effect of the...
The logarithmic decrement, δ, was measured in Nb-V-O alloys with the V content of 0.5, 1.0, 1.9, 7, 12, 20 and 50 at.% using a low frequency (f= 3-7 Hz) inverse torsion pendulum in the temperature range from 20 to 800°C. The complex oxygen atom Snoek peaks were analysed with the help of a computer and individual Debye form constituent peaks-jwere extracted. The parameters of these peaks were used...
An experimental study has been made of a laminate consisting of monolithic thin alumina plates alternating with unidirectional carbon/epoxy (C/E) prepreg tapes. The main advantages of this system over the traditional means of reinforcing ceramics, are the avoidance of large flaws due to processing, which occur in fiber reinforced brittle matrix composites, and the nearly isotropic behavior under biaxial...
