The utilization of fibers plays a crucial role in improving the mechanical performance of
cementitious composites. The bridging effect of fiber at the cracked surface provides …

The fiber bundle model describes a collection of elastic fibers under load. The fibers fail
successively and, for each failure, the load distribution among the surviving fibers changes …

A new crack bridging model accounting for slip-hardening interfacial shear stress is derived
for randomly oriented discontinuous flexible fibers in cement-based composites, based on a …

To improve the interfacial properties of carbon fiber in cement matrix, a thin SiO 2 layer was
coated onto carbon fibers through the condensation and polymerization of the tetraethyl …

Among all building materials, concrete is the most commonly used—and there is a
staggering demand for it. However, as we strive to build taller structures with improved …

The bond characteristics between steel fiber and a cementitious matrix play a crucial role in
controlling the performance of steel fiber–reinforced concrete (SFRC). The bonding …

The fiber pullout and pushout tests have been analyzed to predict the load‐displacement
behavior in terms of fiber/matrix interface parameters. The effects of residual axial strain in …

Stitching advanced carbon-fibre composites in the through-thickness direction enhances the
interlaminar fracture toughness. The mode I delamination toughness of a carbon/epoxy …

Micromechanical tests are reliable tools to study the failure mechanisms in composites
reinforced with continuous fibers. This paper presents an overview of various analytical …

The thermo-mechanical characterization of interfaces in composite systems
(PMC/MMC/IMC/CMC) is one of the challenging problems in composite mechanics and …
