AbstractIndentation tests are widely used to characterize the material properties of heterogeneous materials. So far there is no explicit analysis of the spatially distributed material properties for short fiber-reinforced composites on the mesoscale as well as a determination of the effective cross-section that is characterized by the obtained measurement results. Hence, the primary objective of this study is the characterization of short fiber-reinforced composites on the mesoscale. Furthermore, it is of interest to determine the corresponding area for which the obtained material parameters are valid. For the experimental investigation of local material properties of short fiber-reinforced composites, the Young’s modulus is obtained by indentation tests. The measured values of the Young’s modulus are compared to results gained by numerical simulation. The numerical model represents an actual microstructure derived from a micrograph of the used material. The analysis of the short fiber-reinforced material by indentation tests reveals the layered structure of the specimen induced by the injection molding process and the oriented material properties of the reinforced material are observed. In addition, the experimentally obtained values for Young’s modulus meet the results of a corresponding numerical analysis. Finally, it is shown, that the area characterized by the indentation test is 25 times larger than the actual projected area of the indentation tip. This leads to the conclusion that indentation tests are an appropriate tool to characterize short fiber-reinforced material on the mesoscale.

In this paper, the stress distribution of short-fiber-reinforced composites (SFRC) using representative volume element (RVE) approach based on the finite element analysis (FEA) was presented. A three-phase model was built, in which loads were applied to the matrix. The influences of interphase parameters like Young’s modulus and thickness were studied. The FEA confirms that interphase Young’s modulus and thickness control stress distribution in SFRC. The stress concentration at the fiber interface becomes greater with high interphase Young’s modulus and thin interphase thickness. The FEA results were also compared with those obtained by analytic method.

Temperature dependence of Young’s modulus of Ag microwhiskers was determined by a laser Doppler vibrometer. The Ag whiskers with diameters in sub-microns were synthesized by the use of physical vapor deposition (PVD). They have a five-fold twinned structure grown along the [1 1 0] direction. The temperature coefficient of Young’s modulus was measured to be [Formula: see text] ppm/K in the range of 300 K to 650 K. The measured values are very close to the reported values of [Formula: see text] ppm/K for bulk Ag single crystals. This finding can benefit the design of Ag-based micro/nano-electromechanical systems or micro/nano-interconnectors operated at elevated or lowered temperatures.
