To make such pull-out measurements, however, the length of embedded fiber must be small enough so that the fiber does not break before it is pulled freely. This is difficult to achieve by conventional methods with fibers of small diameter, such as the carbon fibers. In this paper, a fiber pull-out experiment is described. Specialized apparatus in our laboratory, as well as this technique for sample preparation are discussed in detail. The interfacial shear strength of carbon fiber/resin matrix composites is analyzed quantitatively by using the finite-element method. The SFPOT system has been proved to be an available means for the study of interfacial properties for carbon fiber/resin matrix composites.展开更多
