Fiber pull-out

One of the failure mechanisms in fiber-reinforced composite materials


One of the failure mechanisms in fiber-reinforced composite materials

Fiber pull-out is one of the failure mechanisms in fiber-reinforced composite materials. Other forms of failure include delamination, intralaminar matrix cracking, longitudinal matrix splitting, fiber/matrix debonding, and fiber fracture.

Work for debonding, W_d = \frac{\pi; d^2; \sigma_f^2; l_d}{24; E_f}

where

  • d is fiber diameter
  • \sigma_f^2 is failure strength of the fiber
  • l_d is the length of the debonded zone
  • E_f is fiber modulus

The figure is an example of how a fracture surface of this material looks like. The strong fibers form bridges over the cracks before they fail at elongations around 0.7%, and thus prevent brittle rupture of the material at 0.05%, especially under thermal shock conditions. This allows using this type of ceramics for heat shields applied for the re-entry of space vehicles, for disk brakes and slide bearing components.
