Abstract
An improved test for determining the shear strength of the interfacial bond in fibre composite systems is presented. The procedure retains the direct interpretation of the fibre pullout technique, but by employing multiple fibres the tediousness of the latter method is avoided. Stainless steel fibres with several different matrices, both ductile and brittle are used, and the experimental observations are discussed with reference to related studies in the literature. It is shown that matrix ductility has a significant effect upon effective pullout stress and that pullout stress is insensitive to fibre spacing.
