Abstract
Both the fiber push-in and the slice compression tests have been used to evaluate the interfacial properties of fiber-reinforced ceramic composites. Mechanics of sliding at the fiber-matrix interface obtained with these two tests are compared in the present study. While the interfacial radial stress induced by Poisson' effect is always compressive for the push-in test, it is tensile for the slice compression test when the fiber is stiffer than the matrix. This difference in Poisson' effect results in different interfacial frictional resistance between these two tests. Compared to the push-in test, the slice compression test produces a lower frictional resistance along the debonded interface. The interfacial frictional stress during unloading is lower than that during loading for the push-in test, but this trend is reversed for the slice compression test. ? 1994, SAGE Publications.
