Numerical modelling and experimental validation of debonding and heat transfer of carbon fiber reinforced composite under reciprocating sliding KU Leuven
© 2016 Elsevier Ltd Compressive and shear stresses as well as the generation of heat are critical issues in the failure mechanism of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites under reciprocating sliding. In this work, the mechanical stress distribution and maximum surface temperature generated on the wear track by reciprocating sliding against stainless steel counter body are modelled numerically. The computational results are used to directly ...
