Effect Of Fiber Proximity On The Pullout Response: A Finite Element Study, Tyler Mitchell
Mechanical Engineering ETDs
With the advancement of computational capabilities, there is growing interest in
developing intricate models for composite materials. This has been historically chal-
lenging due to the multifaceted interactions and failure mechanisms of these materi-
als. Multiscale modeling holds promise for predicting the intricate dynamics of such
materials. A foundational understanding of their microscale behaviors is critical, par-
ticularly the interfacial interactions between the fiber and matrix. This study delves
into the influence of fiber volume fraction (FVF) on fiber pull-out tests, focusing
on the impact of neighboring fibers across different geometries and the underlying
cohesive properties.
