One end of the substrate is fixed and the other end is subjected to a displacement of about 50-100% of the overall length of the substrate.<\/p>\n<p>I use Body interaction-frictionless and Body Interaction-Reinforcement to bind the fiber to the polymer. It works fine for a single fiber (first image) but for multiple randomly oriented fibers there seems to be no effect on the fibers at all, even though the polymer deforms(Image 2).<\/p>\n<p>In both case the fiber diameter and polymer thickness are the same (0.34 microns and 0.5 microns respectively.<\/p>\n<p>I have seen a bunch of questions in the forum regarding reinforcement of steel fibers in concrete. However, in all the cases I found, it looked to be compression not tension. Does anyone have an experience with my situation or any ideas on how to fix it.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks so much for your time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/389\/HXA5ZINUHW54.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/389\/HXA5ZINUHW54.png\" alt=\"SingleNWafter.PNG\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-160679","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_old_reply_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_reply_anonymous_id":["false"],"_btv_view_count":["865"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["237422"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["160679"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27814"],"_bbp_engagement":["68","13468","196537"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["10"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["186651"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["186651"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-08-18 17:36:45"]},"test":"akiva-gopalkrishnanuvm-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/160679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/160679\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
