Popis: Toughening of fiber-reinforced ceramic composites by fiber pullout relies on mode II debonding at the fiber/matrix interface. This mode II debonding has been analyzed using the strength-based and the energy-based criteria, in which the interfacial shear strength and the interface debond energy are respectively adopted to characterize the debonding behavior. Using the concept of Griffith theory, an effective circumferential defect at the interface is defined to account for the stress intensity due to the presence of the fiber in the matrix and the fiber-pullout geometry. This effective circumferential defect is then used to derive the relation between the interfacial shear strength and the interface debond energy. Also, the condition of interfacial debonding vs fiber fracture for a bridging fiber behind the crack tip is established using the energy-based criterion.
