Bartos, Peter (1977) Bond characteristics in fibrous composites with brittle matrices. University of Southampton, Doctoral Thesis.
Abstract
The pullout test method is used to investigate the characteristics of the bond between glass strands and convent-based matrices. A theoretical model of the pullout specimen is developed and used to analyse the results of the tests. The different modes of failure recorded in the tests are explained and the relationships between the bond characteristics, such as ultimate shear flow, frictional bond, critical embedment length, and the mechanism of the failure of the bond are established. Numerical values of the bond characteristics are obtained for different combinations of glass strands, cement-based matrices and age of the specimens. The discussion of factors which influence the bond is complemented by observations of the surfaces and interfaces of the glass strands and cement matrices.
