A series of the push-out test is performed using specimens with different fiber surface profile and roughness. Numerical simulation is then carried out by employing a finite element method to fit the experimental data. The model contains an indenter which pushes in a single fiber from the matrix, while the cohesive zone model is applied to represent the interface resulting in force–displacement curves. Our results suggest that continuous cavities formed in graphite-based fiber may not be beneficial to interfacial properties since it can accelerate a debonding process along with the interface. In contrast, scattered cavities on the fiber surface create strong mechanical locking, which increases the interfacial strength. These results broaden the understanding of the surface profile, which would shed light on a new perspective in designing composite structures.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Cohesive zone model,Displacement curve,Interfacial property,Interfacial strength,Matrix interfaces,Mechanical locking,Push-out tests,Surface profiles[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]fiber–matrix interface,mechanical locking,push-out test,Surface profile[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998319883418[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
