Abstract

The shear lag model has been used extensively to analyze the stress transfer in a singe fiberreinforced composite (i.e., a microcomposite). To achieve analytical solutions, various simplifications have been adopted in the stress analysis. Questions regarding the adequacy of those simplifications are discussed in the present study for the following two cases: bonded interfaces and frictional interfaces. Specifically, simplifications regarding (1) Poisson's effect, and (2) the radial dependences of axial stresses in the fiber and the matrix are addressed. For bonded interfaces, the former can be ignored, and the latter can generally be ignored. However, when the volume fraction of the fiber is high, the radial dependence of the axial stress in the fiber should be considered. For frictional interfaces, the latter can be ignored, but the former should be considered; however, it can be considered in an average sense to simplify the analysis. Comparisons among results obtained from analyses with various simplifications are made.
