X Abstract

Sharp indentation tests on carbon fiber and carbon matrix composites (C/C composite) were carried out over a wide load range from 0 to 2 N on three different cross sections: normal, parallel and inclined to the fiber axis. For comparison purposes, a variety of carbons including HOPG, glassy C, and pyrocarbon films was also examined. Both the fibers and the matrices displayed first a purely elastic response and second crack-induced damage. A purely elastic behavior was also observed with most of the varieties of carbon considered. Young’s modulus was extracted from the indentation curves either at maximum or at various forces, using the Sneddon equation of elastic response on loading (elastic indentation) or a classical equation based on elastic recovery on unloading (elastoplastic indentation). Results are discussed with respect to features of structure and heterogeneity of material in the stressed volume.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
