The present paper investigates the failure of SiC and alumina-fiber-reinforced minicomposites in relation to strength distributions filaments, behavior reinforcing dry tows. data are measured on single-filament, dry-tow minicomposite specimens using tensile tests under commonly used test condition strain-controlled loading. Pertinence normal distribution strengths at different length scales is ...

With the rapid development of high-performance fibers such as carbon, enhanced glass in structural applications, use fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) materials has also increased many areas. Liquid molding (LCM) is a widely used manufacturing process manufacturing; however, impregnation resin reinforcing during processing poses significant issue. The optimization related to tow deformations fib...
