AbstractA three-dimensional multiscale modeling framework is developed to analyze the failure procedure of radially aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) enhanced single fiber composites (SFC) under tensile loading to understand the interfacial improvement between the fiber and the matrix. The model introduces four levels in the computational domain. The nanoscale analysis calculates the size-dependent material properties of ZnO nanowires. The interaction between ZnO nanowires and the matrix is simulated using a properly designed representative volume element at the microscale. At the mesoscale, the interface between the carbon fiber and the surrounding area is modeled using the cohesive zone approach. A combination of ABAQUS Finite element software and the failure criteria modeled in UMAT user subroutine is implemented to simulate the single fiber fragmentation test (SFFT) at the macroscale. The numerical results indicate that the interfacial shear strength of SFC can be improved up to 99% after growing ZnO nanowires on the fiber. The effect of ZnO nanowires geometries on the interfacial shear strength of the enhanced SFC is also investigated. Experimental ZnO nanowires enhanced SFFTs are performed on the fabricated samples to validate the results of the developed multiscale model. A good agreement between the numerical and the experimental results was observed.

ABSTRACTFractographic analysis of SCS-6/Ti-24Al-11 Nb(a/o) (Ti-24-11 hereafter) and SCS-6/Ti-1 5V- 3Cr-3Al-3Sn(w/o) (Ti-15-3 hereafter) composites subjected to fatigue crack growth conditions indicates that the interface is prone to wear damage as a result of fiber/matrix sliding. In this study, the effect of fatigue loading on the integrity of the Interface was studied by using fiber pushout testing to compare the interfacial shear strength of composite specimens in the asreceived condition with specimens that were previously subjected to fatigue loading. Fatigue loading was also simulated by pushing fibers back and forth (multiple reverse pushouts). It was concluded that interfacial sliding during fatigue loading results in interfacial damage and degradation of the interfacial shear strength. Tensile testing of extracted fibers exposed to fatigue-induced interfacial damage was also performed to determine the effect of interface damage on the fiber strength. Interfacial damage also resulted in decreased fiber strength of the SCS-6 fiber. Fracture and wear of the outer carbon coatings on the SCS-6 fiber is the main contributing factor in the deterioration of these interfaces.

In this paper, the surface tension components of three silicone resins were determined with an advanced contact angle technique, which was composed of dynamic cycling contact angle and axisymmetric drop shape analysis (ADSA). The interfacial properties of three silicone/quartz glass fiber composites were measured through interfacial shear strength (IFSS) testing experiment. It was found that the Lifshitz–van der Waals component was the main surface tension component for all of the silicones. There is a perfect linear relationship between the interfacial tension and the IFSS. With the increase of the Lifshitz-van der Waals component, the interfacial tension and the IFSS of composites increased. Therefore, the Lifshitz-van der Waals component is the most important parameter for explaining the interfacial shear property of silicone/glass fiber composites.
