Elevated Temperature Fiber Push-Out Testing
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
The potential use of fiber-reinforced composite materials for high temperature applications makes the development of interface test methodology at those high temperatures very desirable. A facility for performing high temperature fiber push-out tests will be described with emphasis on critical issues in experimental procedure. Examples from several composite systems illustrate the temperature dependence and environmental sensitivity of fiber debonding and sliding. Interpretation of the temperature dependence will be made primarily in terms of changes in residual stresses along with additional effects due to changes in matrix ductility and interfacial wear. Examples will show that high temperature fiber push-out testing can often distinguish between chemical and frictional fiber/matrix bonding in cases where room temperature only testing cannot.
