Abstract
The pull-out of a ductile fibre from a brittle matrix was analysed in Part I [1] using a shear-lag model. However, the analysis is formidable due to the consideration of Poisson's effect along the sliding length. This consideration is essential when the debonded fibre-matrix interface is subjected to Coulomb friction during fibre pull-out. To simplify the analysis, Poisson's effect is treated in an average sense in the present study, whereas it was treated pointwise in Part I. The present simplified solutions are in excellent agreement with the previous more rigorous and more complex solutions. The simplified model thus provides adequate solutions for the pull-out of a ductile fibre from a brittle matrix, and can be readily used for further applications.
