Plasticity of brittle epoxy resins during debonding failures
A remarkably high degree of plasticity in brittle epoxies during debonding failures is reported. The plasticity is exhibited by the presence of ridges on the debonded surfaces having a width and height above t...

Similarities in the fracture surface features of borosilicate and polymer glasses
Considerable similarity exists between the features on the fracture surfaces of a borosilicate glass and those on the fracture surfaces of polymer thermoset glasses like epoxies and vinyl esters. These feature...

Fractographic study of transverse cracks in a fibre composite
Transverse fracture of unidirectional fibre composites was studied in a model glass/epoxy composite in which 1 mm-diameter rods had been used in place of fibres. The fracture surface resulting from transverse ...
