An Apparatus For Folding Yarns And Woven Fabrics Of Ballistic Fibers

June 4, 2007
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Jae Hyun Kim, Nolan J. Brandenburg, William R. Blair, Gale A. Holmes
Folding of ballistic fibers comprising soft body armor may be a factor in the performance deterioration that has been observed in used soft body armor. To quantify the impact of this mechanism, an apparatus was designed and built to simulate the folding

Round Robin Assessment of the Single Fiber Fragmentation Test

October 21, 2002
Author(s)
M J. Rich, L T. Drzal, Donald L. Hunston, Gale A. Holmes, Walter G. McDonough
The Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS) was established following an economic summit meeting in 1982 held at Versailles by the Heads of State of the seven leading industrial nations and representatives from the Commission of the

Application of Self-Assembled Technology to Probe Fiber Matrix-Adhesion

October 1, 2002
Author(s)
E Feresenbet, D T. Raghavan, Gale A. Holmes
Adhesion at the fiber-matrix interface of composite is often related to a combination of factors such as mechanical interlocking, physico-chemical interactions, and chemical bonding of the fiber-matrix interphase region. We demonstrate the use of (self

Dispersion of Functionalized Nanoclay Platelets in an Amine-Cured Epoxy Resin System

June 1, 2002
Author(s)
D T. Raghavan, E Feresenbet, D Yebassa, A Emekalam, Gale A. Holmes
Nanocomposites are a relatively new class of materials obtained by dispersing montmorillonite clay in polymer matrix. Evidences from literature suggest that clay platelet dispersion during nanocomposite preparation and clay-matrix adhesion are major

Influence of Processing Rate and Formulation on the Interface Strength of Vinyl Ester/E-Glass Composites

April 1, 2002
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Joy Dunkers, Gale A. Holmes, E Feresenbet, Y H. Kim, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas
The single fiber fragmentation test was used to investigate the effect of gelation time on interfacial shear properties of fast reacting resin systems. We developed a processing system capable of producing single fiber fragmentation samples with gelation

Effect of Self-Assembled Monolayer Technology on Fiber-Matrix Adhesion

April 1, 2001
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, E Feresenbet, D T. Raghavan
The concept of an interphase region between an adherent and a matrix or adhesive was first introduced in 1972 by Sharpe. Since this introduction, the role of the interphase region in controlling the performance of fibrous composites has been extensively
