Fiber Composite
Theory for Modeling Oriented Films Quiz

- Fibrillation has been
observed by many researchers who have studied oriented films. In the
model presented, we assumed an infinitely long fiber would suffice for
predicting the mechanical behavior. List three reasons why this may be
acceptable.
- Now, list three reasons
why the infinitely long fiber model may not be an acceptable model for
oriented films.
- Discuss how slippage
between the fiber and the matrix may occur and how it can be
mathematically incorporated into a model. What would be evidence of
slippage occurring between the fibers and the matrix.
- In oriented films, how
does the operating temperature affect the drawability of the film.
- How does the changing
the draw ratio affect the mechanical properties of the film?
