The Effect of Processing on Interfacial Shear Properties of Composite Materials

January 1, 2000
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Joy P. Dunkers, Gale A. Holmes, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas
The objective of our research was to extend the use of the single fiber fragmentation test to include fast reacting resin systems and to determine the effect of gelation time on interfacial shear properties. To do this work, we developed a processing

Strain Rate Effects in the Single Fiber Fragmentation Test for Fiber Matrix Adhesion

August 1, 1999
Author(s)
Donald L. Hunston, Gale A. Holmes, R C. Peterson, Walter G. McDonough
In this paper, precise measurements of fiber break regions formed during the single fiber fragmentation testing procedure have been made for E-glass/diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)/meta-phenylenediamine (m-PDA) single fiber fragmentation test (SFFT

Microstructural Characterization for Polymer Composites

January 1, 1999
Author(s)
Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas, Donald L. Hunston, Joy Dunkers, Gale A. Holmes
Characterization of composite microstructure is a crucial area since such features plays a major role in processability, performance, damage tolerance, and service life. Moreover, as the reinforcement geometries available are becoming more complex, the

Interface Adhesion of E-Glass Fibers in Model Polyisocyanurate Networks

September 23, 1998
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Gale A. Holmes, R C. Peterson
Recent work examining the nature of the failure process of glass/epoxy specimens in the single fiber fragmentation test showed that the matrix exhibited pronounced non-linear viscoelastic behavior during the test, and that the interfacial shear strength

Modeling of Multi-Step Nonlinear Stress Relaxation in DGEBA/M-PDA Epoxy Resins

March 4, 1998
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, R C. Peterson, Donald L. Hunston
Multi-step stress relaxation data from a DGEBA/m-PDA epoxy resin is modeled using a nonseparable nonlinear constitutive equation. The form of the equation is based on nonlinear concepts and ideas developed in melt rheology. Although time-strain

The Influence of the matrix Modulus on the interfacial Shear Strength Parameter

February 25, 1998
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, R C. Peterson, Donald L. Hunston, Walter G. McDonough
In composite structures, adhesion at the fiber-matrix interface is typically determined indirectly from experimental data and theoretical models. These models make varying assumptions about the fiber, matrix, and fragmentation process. Therefore, the

Workshop on Micromechanics Measurement Technologies for Fiber-Polymer Interfaces

May 1, 1997
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas, Gale A. Holmes, Donald L. Hunston
The Polymers Division hosted the Workshop on Micromechanics Measurement Technologies for Fiber-Polymer Interfaces, jointly sponsored by NIST and the Textile Research Institute of Princeton, NJ, on May 28-30, 1997. Fifty researchers from industry, academia
