Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper discusses the work accomplished, thus far, in the development of the Fiber Twist Test (FTT) as an alternative and improved technique for testing the interface properties of continuous fiber composite materials. The unique features of the fiber twist test include the absence of Poisson effects during testing. This eliminates the nonlinear variation, with changing embedded fiber lengths, of fracture modes and accompanying debond energy, and of friction along the interface. Since the fiber is not removed from its surrounding matrix during testing, the interface area remains constant. This facilitates a more accurate measurement of friction properties at the interface.
