An engineering approach for predicting residual strength of carbon/epoxy laminates after impact and hygrothermal cycling

A semi-empirical analysis on residual compressive strength (RCS) of carbon/epoxy woven composite laminate was developed which included the damage effects caused by impact and hygrothermal cycling. Impact damage is modelled as a soft inclusion with an exponentially reduced stiffness and the stiffness is further reduced due to hygrothermal cycling. A complex variable method was used to determine the in-plane stress distribution near the impact-induced damage and point stress failure criterion is then used to predict the failure load. Based on the semi-empirical model, the RCS can be related to damage width, damage intensity, undamaged strength and a degradation factor due to hygrothermal cycling. The results from the analysis coincide reasonably well with the experimental data for the plain-woven fabric laminates.

低速冲击下复合材料层板压缩许用值

为评估航空结构中常用的T300级和T800级2种碳纤维/环氧树脂复合材料层压板的冲击后压缩许用值,对2种材料体系下具有不同厚度及铺层的层板进行了低速冲击和冲击后压缩试验;讨论了冲击能量、凹坑深度、损伤面积及冲击后剩余压缩强度等之间的关系,以及厚度、铺层、表面防护等因素对其造成的影响;重点关注了2种材料体系下各组层板的目视勉强可见冲击损伤(BVID)形成条件以及含BVID层板的剩余强度.结果表明:厚度及铺层对层板的凹坑深度-冲击能量关系影响较大,而对冲击后压缩强度-凹坑深度及冲击后压缩破坏应变-凹坑深度关系影响较小,且在相同铺层比例下,BVID对应的冲击能量随厚度近似呈线性增长.X850层板的损伤阻抗性能明显优于CCF300/5228层板的,但二者损伤容限性能相当.加铜网、涂漆等表面处理显著提高了层板的损伤阻抗,但对损伤容限性能影响不大;在损伤不超过BVID时,所有CCF300/5228试件的压缩破坏应变均大于4 000 με,而X850材料体系下压缩破坏应变均在3 000 με之上.     

压缩预应力对复合材料层板抗冲击损伤性能的影响

为确定压缩预应力对复合材料层板抗冲击损伤性能的影响,首先对不同压缩预应力下的碳纤维/双马树脂CCF300/5428层板进行了低速冲击和准静态压痕试验,然后通过热揭层和冲击后压缩试验分别得到了层板分层面积和剩余强度。结果表明:压缩预应力会大幅降低层板的接触刚度和弯曲刚度,从而导致相同冲击能量下层板凹坑深度和背部基体开裂长度增大;对于准静态压痕过程和相同冲击能量下的冲击过程,分层起始载荷和峰值载荷均随压缩预应力的增大而减小;在相同冲击能量下,随着压缩预应力的增大,层板内部分层总面积及冲击能量吸收比不断增大,剩余压缩强度不断降低。因此,压缩预应力会降低复合材料层板的冲击损伤阻抗,对损伤容限性能不利,在对承受压缩载荷结构的试验验证过程中应考虑压缩预应力对抗冲击损伤性能的影响。

Predicting low velocity impact damage and Compression-After-Impact (CAI) behaviour of composite laminates

Low-velocity impact damage can drastically reduce the residual strength of a composite structure even when the damage is barely visible. The ability to computationally predict the extent of damage and compression-after-impact (CAI) strength of a composite structure can potentially lead to the exploration of a larger design space without incurring significant time and cost penalties. A high-fidelity three-dimensional composite damage model, to predict both low-velocity impact damage and CAI strength of composite laminates, has been developed and implemented as a user material subroutine in the commercial finite element package, ABAQUS/Explicit. The intralaminar damage model component accounts for physically-based tensile and compressive failure mechanisms, of the fibres and matrix, when subjected to a three-dimensional stress state. Cohesive behaviour was employed to model the interlaminar failure between plies with a bi-linear traction–separation law for capturing damage onset and subsequent damage evolution. The virtual tests, set up in ABAQUS/Explicit, were executed in three steps, one to capture the impact damage, the second to stabilize the specimen by imposing new boundary conditions required for compression testing, and the third to predict the CAI strength. The observed intralaminar damage features, delamination damage area as well as residual strength are discussed. It is shown that the predicted results for impact damage and CAI strength correlated well with experimental testing without the need of model calibration which is often required with other damage models.     

Compression failures of damaged graphite epoxy laminates

This paper describes the results of a joint numerical and experimental investigation into effects of delamination and impact damage on the compressive strength of graphite epoxy laminates. The numerical analysis predicts that as the size of the damage increases a stage is reached after which any further significant increase in the damage results in only a relatively small decrease in the residual compressive strength.     

Evaluation of impact damage mechanism of multi-axial stitched CFRP laminate

This study focuses on multi-axial stitched fabric, which is a thick, high performance reinforcement for large-scale composite structures. The effects of impact damage on multi-axial stitched CFRP laminates molded by vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) method were evaluated. Impact damage within material was evaluated by ultrasonic scanning device and optical cross-sectional observations. Probed images obtained by both non-destructive and destructive methods were compared, and internal damage distributions of multi-axial stitched CFRP laminates were clarified. In addition, residual compressive strength and fatigue property of impact-damaged CFRP laminates were evaluated by in situ damage growth monitoring using the thermo-elastic stress analyzer (TESA). Three-dimensional damage distribution of impacted CFRP laminate was obtained from ultrasonic C-scan images and cross-sectional photographs. Damage progress behavior was observed on a destructive and non-destructive basis by post-impact fatigue (PIF) test.     

复合材料层压板抗冲击行为及表征方法的实验研究

对14种复合材料体系约800个试样进行了冲击阻抗和含损伤层压板压缩强度试验研究,研究发现对于同一种复合材料层压板的冲击能量-凹坑深度曲线和凹坑深度-压缩破坏应变曲线均存在拐点,在出现拐点后内部的分层损伤叠加面积基本不再增加,压缩剩余强度基本不再降低,表面冲击部位开始出现纤维断裂。研究表明,采用传统CAI来表征损伤容限性能的方法可能得到与实际结构损伤容限特性相反的结论。因此,提出了利用拐点附近特性来表征复合材料层压板的抗冲击行为（包括损伤阻抗和损伤容限）的建议,即分别采用QSI方法得到的准各向同性层压板的最大接触力F_max和压缩破坏强度（应变）的门槛值CAIT来表征复合材料层压板的损伤阻抗和损伤容限行为。      

Impact damage to thick carbon fibre reinforced plastic composite laminates

Recently, very thick section laminates, up to 20 mm in thickness, have been proposed for the wing skins of large aircraft. Composite components in all aircraft have concerns relating to the presence of accidental damage, but there has been little work to investigate the mechanisms and effects of damage in such thick sections. In this work, carbon fibre composite laminates of up to 12 mm thickness have been subjected to dropped-weight impacts of at most 375 J. Two types of impacts were considered. The first is a central impact where the laminate is completely supported and the second a near edge impact where the laminate is partially supported so that one of its edges is free. The geometry of the damage has been studied using C-scan and deply techniques. The residual strengths of the impact-damaged laminates have been measured in tension and compression. The geometry of damage and level of strength reduction is different for central and edge impacts. Generally, an edge impact causes a greater reduction in compressive strength while a central impact causes more tensile strength reduction.

低速冲击后复合材料层合板的压缩破坏行为

对缝纫层合板和无缝纫层合板进行低速冲击后压缩破坏实验,以研究低速冲击后层合板的压缩破坏机理。采用C扫描、X射线、热揭层等技术对层合板内的损伤进行测量和对比。结果表明,界面不是很强的碳纤维增强复合材料层合板低速冲击后受压时,层合板非冲击面的子层屈曲及其扩展是导致层合板冲击后压缩强度下降的重要因素,而且子层屈曲主要是沿垂直载荷的方向(90°)扩展;对于准各向同性板,屈曲子层中与母层相邻的铺层的方向一般为90°。层合板的剩余压缩强度与板的冲击损伤面积无直接关系。      

Damage tolerance of thick hybrid composite plate containing a local hemispherical damage

Three dimensional (3-D) stress and failure analysis of thick hybrid composite plate containing a local impact damage is presented. The impact damage is modelled in the present study by an artificial hemispherical flaw. The research involves a combination of theoretical study, based on the 3-D finite strip method for fiber reinforced material, and experimental investigation. Numerical results are compared with experimental results, and found to be in good agreement. This follows by a study of the effects of the damage geometry and materials properties on the mechanical behavior of the damaged plate. Theoretical and experimental failure analysis is developed, toward computer aided assessment of the residual strength of damaged plate.     

Compressive strength of composite laminates following free edge impact

Barely Visible Impact Damage (BVID) can occur when laminated composite material is subject to free edge impact loads in the plane of the laminate and can result in a significant reduction in compressive strength caused by buckle-driven delamination. This paper will report on a semi-analytical fracture mechanics model that predicts the Compression After Impact (CAI) strength of composite laminates subject to in-plane free edge impact. Compression testing has been undertaken on three impacted coupons in order to validate the theoretical results. Analytical results are shown to be on average within 10% of experimental values for the strain at which propagation of damage occurs.
