Abstract

Analytical formulas for the estimation of pressure and shear stresses due to friction on bent surfaces during the handling of fibers in the manufacture of industrial textiles and composites have been derived using the drive belt formula and Hertz contact stress relations. Experimentally measured at low speed, the forces and coefficients of friction give shear stresses in the same range as for the debonding in composites. This supports a partially adhesion view of the friction processes.
