• TITLE: Thermomechanical Stress in the Evolution of Shear of Fiber-Matrix Interface Composite Material

  AUTHORS: Dalila Remaoun, Ahmed Boutaous

  KEYWORDS: Interface, Fiber, Matrix, Thermal Expansion, Shear, Stress

  JOURNAL NAME: Materials Sciences and Applications, Vol.2 No.5, May 5, 2011

  ABSTRACT: This work aims to describe the behavior of the interface using the method of load transfer between fiber and matrix in a composite material. Our contribution is to track the Evolution of the thermomechanical behavior by establishing a new mathematical model that describes the variation of shear stress along the interface. This model has been implemented in code in C++. The results revealed that the shear of the interface increases with temperature. This increase is partly due to the difference in expansion coefficient between fiber and matrix. The composite studied is T300/914; Carbon-Epoxy.
