Mechanics of short fibre thermoplastic based composites containing UHMWPE interlayers : a preliminary investigation

FEM has been applied to analyse the influence of interlayers on the stress distribution around cylindrical fibres in an elastic matrix. This being part of a research programme aiming to enhance the energy absorption characteristics of composites by means of interlayers from materials exhibiting high...
