Abstract

The effect of interfacial slip on the stress—strain properties of a rubbery polymer reinforced with short fibres is discussed with particular reference to hysteresis. The amount of energy dissipated by interface sliding and by the viscoelastic response of the matrix is calculated in the light of a simple model. This is compared with the dynamic properties of the composites, both with a view to designing composites with a useful combination of stiffness and damping, and also with the possibility of evaluating the integrity of the fibre-matrix interface from dynamic measurements.
