Lecture

Deformation and Rupture in Composite Materials

Description

This lecture covers the deformation and rupture behavior of composite materials, focusing on continuous fiber composites. It explains the stress-strain relationship, the role of fiber orientation, and the significance of the fiber-matrix interface. The lecture discusses the stress distribution in fibers, the concept of efficiency factors, and the impact of fiber length on composite properties. It also delves into the importance of the fiber-matrix interface in determining the mechanical behavior of composites, including the mechanisms of fiber pull-out and debonding. The presentation concludes with examples of laminated composites and the manufacturing processes involved.
