Transverse Loading on Single High-Performance Fibers by Round-Head Indenters and the Fibers’ Failure Visualization

High-performance fibers are well-known for their high stiffness and strength under axial tension. However, in their many applications as critical components of textiles and composites, transverse loads widely exist in their normal service life. In this study, we modified a micro material testing sys...
