Abstract

The review briefly reviewed the applied methods for determining the fiber-matrix adhesive strength. The main emphasis is on measuring the adhesive strength by the single fiber push-out method using instrumental micro- and nanoindentation. The issues of informativeness of this approach, modeling of the process of pushing the fiber by the indenter, the stress state in this process are considered. Attention is paid to the methods of testing, in particular, the features of sample preparation, the geometry of the indenters used, loading conditions.
