Influence of lubricants such as montan waxes and fatty acid esters, on properties of glass fiber reinforced composites based on polyamide 1010. Composites with 40 % wt. glass fibers were obtained on twin-screw extruder, while the fiber breakage occur. Fiber length distribution were measured. It is shown, that adding of 0.5 % wt. of lubricants increase content of glass fibers longer than 2 critical length and improve mechanical properties.

Abstract. The non-parameter kernel estimation has become a dramatic method on fitting the distribution density function of cotton fiber length in theoretical research on fiber length. It can get a differentiable and integrable density function of cotton length distribution, and make the probability approach more effective on analysis and prediction of yarn performance. But, due to the requirements of the fitting smoothness, there is a bias between calculational index and measured value, especially to the short fiber content. This research uses the power function to fit the distribution of short fibers, then according to the principle of mixed distribution, revises the density function gotten by kernel estimation method, and gives a precise estimation of density function. The revised algorithm is more exact to fit the density function of fiber length. This approach is a new way to study the fiber length distribution and its effect on yarn properties both theoretically and practically.

AbstractIn this study a modeling approach for short fiber-reinforced composites is presented which allows one to consider information from the microstructure of the compound while modeling on the component level. The proposed technique is based on the determination of correlation functions by the moving window method. Using these correlation functions random fields are generated by the Karhunen–Loève expansion. Linear elastic numerical simulations are conducted on the mesoscale and component level based on the probabilistic characteristics of the microstructure derived from a two-dimensional micrograph. The experimental validation by nanoindentation on the mesoscale shows good conformity with the numerical simulations. For the numerical modeling on the component level the comparison of experimentally obtained Young’s modulus by tensile tests with numerical simulations indicate that the presented approach requires three-dimensional information of the probabilistic characteristics of the microstructure. Using this information not only the overall material properties are approximated sufficiently, but also the local distribution of the material properties shows the same trend as the results of conducted tensile tests.

A model is presented to analyze the effect of fiber fracture on the anisotropic elastic properties of short-fiber reinforced composite materials. The effective moduli of the material are modeled using a self-consistent scheme which includes the calculated energy dissipated through the opening of a crack in an arbitrarily oriented elliptical inclusion. The model is an extension of previous works which have modeled isotropic properties of short-fiber reinforced composites with fiber breakage and anisotropic properties of monolithic materials with microcracks. Two-dimensional planar composite systems are considered. The model allows for the calculation of moduli under varying degrees of fiber alignment and damage orientation. In the results, both aligned fiber systems and randomly oriented fiber systems with damage-induced anisotropy are examined.

AbstractA study of the micromechanical behavior to predict the overall response of short fiber-reinforced composites under cyclic mechanical and thermal loading is presented. The instantaneous average over a “representative volume” of the material is considered. The influence of the short fiber’s aspect ratio, volume fraction, and spatial orientation has been investigated. The linear combined hardening model is used to describe the cyclic hardening effects in the case of metal matrix. A numerical procedure is used to predict the response of composites under mechanical and thermal conditions. The results of the numerical procedure have been compared to the results of three different models and to published experimental data.
