The fracture toughness of carbon fiber reinforced plastics is governed by the mechanisms: 1) debonding between the carbon fiber and polymer matrix, 2) fiber pull-out, and 3) delamination between the CFRP sheets. [8] Typical epoxy-based CFRPs exhibit virtually no plasticity, with less than 0.5% strain to failure.
Fibre-reinforced polymers include carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers and glass-reinforced plastic. If classified by matrix then there are thermoplastic composites, short fibre thermoplastics, long fibre thermoplastics or long-fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. There are numerous thermoset composites, including paper composite panels.
For example, C/C stands for carbon-fiber-reinforced carbon (carbon/carbon), or C/SiC for carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide. Sometimes the manufacturing process is included, and a C/SiC composite manufactured with the liquid polymer infiltration (LPI) process (see below) is abbreviated as LPI-C/SiC .
CFSMC, or Carbon Fiber Sheet Molding Compound (also known as CSMC or CF-SMC), is a ready to mold carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite material used in compression molding. While traditional SMC utilizes chopped glass fibers in a polymer resin, CFSMC utilizes chopped carbon fibers. The length and distribution of the carbon fibers is more ...
The most common particle reinforced composite is concrete, which is a mixture of gravel and sand usually strengthened by addition of small rocks or sand. Metals are often reinforced with ceramics to increase strength at the cost of ductility. Finally polymers and rubber are often reinforced with carbon black, commonly used in auto tires. [7]
Fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP; also called fibre-reinforced polymer, or in American English fiber) is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibres. The fibres are usually glass (in fibreglass ), carbon (in carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer ), aramid , or basalt .
the detachment with cohesive failure of the support from the reinforcement system; the detachment at the matrix-support interface; the detachment at the matrix-fiber interface; the sliding of the fiber in the matrix; the sliding of the fiber and the cracking of the outer layer of mortar; the tensile failure of the fiber. Failure mechanisms
The most common type of fibers used in short fiber thermoplastics are glass fiber and carbon fiber [2]. Adding short fibers to thermoplastic resins improves the composite performance for lightweight applications. [1] In addition, short fiber thermoplastic composites are easier and cheaper to produce than continuous fiber reinforced composites. [1]
