Abstract

Crack bridging by inclined fibers has been studied in a brittle fiber-brittle matrix model ceramic composite. Results of the fiber bridging force vs the crack opening displacement have been obtained for different fiber inclination angles using a fracture mechanics approach. Localized matrix cracking has been observed for inclined fibers and related to fiber inclination angle. The experimental results showing the influence of fiber inclination angle are discussed and compared with theoretical analyses to provide insight into crack bridging by inclined fibers/whiskers. Implications for toughening by whisker bridging are also discussed.
