Maximum pullout force for MAC is
similar for embedded length 20

at 10 mm.

15. Displacements in Tension and Flexure:
Stroke and LVDT
Average LVDT deformation is used for stiffness, elastic and tangent modulus
Actuator displacement is used to calculate toughness at different levels of strain.
16. Effect of curing age and dosage, MF series
MF 40 at dosages of 1.0 and
2.5% tested after 7 and 28 days
of moist curing (73 F, 90% RH)
First crack and ultimate strength
(UTS) increased marginally with
longer hydration periods
Toughness increased
considerably due to fiber content
17. Effect of Fiber Volume Fraction on Tensile
Response of MAC
Fiber reinforcement increased the
toughness
Improvement in strength and toughness
can be seen with increase in volume
fraction.
First cracking strength increases by
30% and post-crack (tangent) modulus
increases by over 107%.
The ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and
toughness measured from the area
enclosed within the stress-strain curve
increases by a factor of 2 at 4% dosage
Strengthening mechanisms - distributed
parallel cracking, crack bridging and
deflection, fiber pullout, fiber failure.
18. Effect of Fiber Dosage on Tensile Response
MF 40 vs. MAC – Significantly higher improvement in strength and toughness
with increase in volume fraction from 1.0 – 2.5%
Possible mechanisms, better bond with the matrix due to matrix penetration
between the filaments.

Crac k Deflec tion
Debonding
Fric tional Sliding
Fibers and fiber-matrix interface prevents complete
localized failure in the matrix place through a series of
distributed cracks transverse to the direction of the load.
Distributed cracks enable deflection of matrix cracks
through fiber-matrix debonding and frictional
sliding of the fibers under tension

4% Vf of MAC .
Displacement distribution across
different cracks along the gage length.
Time history of stress and
crack width development
Discontinuous distribution of the longitudinal displacement can be used to measure
the crack spacing and correlated with experimental stress and strain measured locally
with transducers.
Since the onset of first crack, a general decrease in crack spacing is observed until
they reach a steady state defined as saturation crack spacing.
27. Correlation of Damage Evolution

elastic stage is represented
by almost vertical line.
Various cracking stages
within the range of 1%
strain.
New cracks formation while
older cracks widen.
Pronounced strain
hardening effect is observed
as the tensile stress
increases with a reduced
stiffness.

material for TRC development
Both macro and micro PP fibers are applicable for manufacturing
continuous fiber composites
Characterization of Strain hardening behavior using Tension and
Flexural tests
