title = "Comparison of two single fibre interface tests",
abstract = "Single fibre tests are often used to determine interfacial properties as they can directly monitor changes at the interface. However, analyses of these tests is still complex and very little work has been carried out on the comparison of results from one test type to another. In this paper the pull-out and fragmentation tests are used to measure properties of the interface between treated carbon fibre and epoxy resin. The results are analyzed to obtain shear strength values for the interface. The pull-out test generates two shear strength values, the first, a bond shear strength associated with initiation of a crack and the second a value for frictional shear strength in the debonded region. The fragmentation test, on the other hand, generates a mean value for the whole interface. The results from each test are compared and it is discovered that the maximum pull-out length Lmax is comparable to the mean fragment length measured by the fragmentation test for each fibre tested. Also the fragmentation generated mean shear strength values lie between the two pull-out values for each fibre treatment level tested, showing an increasing bias towards the bond shear strength value with increasing treatment level.",
