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 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 'shear-lag'analysis method is frequently used for analysis of stress transfer between the
fiber and the matrix in composites. The accuracy of shear-lag methods has not been critically …

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 …

Stresses required to debond the fiber-matrix interface and to pull out a fiber are analyzed as
a function of the embedded fiber length for a fiber-reinforced composite. The role of residual …

A new analytical method has been developed that can predict the stress transfer between
fibre and matrix in a uniaxially fibre-reinforced composite associated with either a single …

Shear-lag equations for analysis of stresses in a multilayered composite were derived using
a series of approximations to exact two-dimensional elasticity methods. The shear-lag …

In spite of the apparently unrealistic character of the single filament pull-out test when
compared to the complexity of the composite material, much information can be derived that …

Abstract Two current theories [11, 17] of interfacial debonding and fibre pull-out, which have
been developed on the basis of fracture mechanics and shear strength criteria, respectively …

Due to the low bending stiffness and large aspect ratio, nanofillers with curved morphology
are ubiquitous in composites, providing a potential avenue to achieve superior mechanical …
