Single fibre fragmentation test for assessing adhesion in fibre reinforced composites 

 -  Journal of Materials Science, 33(1), p.1-16, 1998 .
<br/><br/> The single fibre fragmentation test for measuring the properties of the fibreÐmatrix interface in fibre-reinforced composites is reviewed. Special emphasis has been paid to the recent stress transfer models in single fibre composites and its application to the development of a suitable data reduction technique for the fragmentation test. The complexities of the correlation of the micromechanical results to the properties of the macrocomposites have been highlighted.
