Ch. Andersson, ANALYSIS OF CONTACT STRESSES DUE TO COMBINED BENDING AND SLIDING OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE FIBERS, Mechanics of composite materials, 33(2), 1997, pp. 101-106
Analytical formulas for the estimation of pressure and shear stresses
due to friction on bent surfaces during the handling of fibers in the
manufacture of industrial textiles and composites have been derived us
ing the drive belt formula and Hertz contact stress relations. Experim
entally measured at low speed, the forces and coefficients of fraction
give shear stresses in the same range as for the debonding in composi
tes. This supports a partially adhesion view of the friction processes
.
