Effective elastic, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of braided fabric composites

Composites based upon 3D textile preforms have found broad structural application. This paper presents an analytical methodology for functional composites using piezoceramic fibers in a 3D braided preform. The effective elastic, piezoelectric and dielectric properties of 2-step braided composites with a polymeric matrix have been investigated. In the analytical approach, the effective properties of the braider and axial yarns of the unit cells are determined first using a 3D connectivity model. Then, the effective properties of the 2-step braided composite are predicted using an averaging technique. Results of a numerical example illustrating the variation of elastic, piezoelectric and dielectric constants with the braider yarn angle are provided. Textile preforming technique in general offers the potential of near net shape forming and 3D fiber placement. The present work provides the analytical basis for 3D piezoceramic textile composites.     

Mechanical behavior of Kevlar/basalt reinforced polypropylene composites

In this study, mechanical behavior of thermoplastic composites reinforced with two-dimensional plain woven homogeneous and hybrid fabrics of Kevlar/basalt yarns was studied. Five types (two homogeneous and three hybrids) of composite laminates were manufactured using compression molding technique with polypropylene (PP) resin. Static tensile and in-plane compression tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties of the laminates. The tension and in-plane compression tests had shown that the composites with the combination of Kevlar and basalt yarns present better tensile and in-plane compressive behavior as compared to their base composites. Improvement in the properties such as elastic modulus, strength and failure strain in both tension and in-plane compression was observed due to the hybridization. Numerical simulations were performed in ABAQUS/Standard by implementing a user-defined material subroutine (VUMAT) based on Chang-Chang criteria. Good agreement between the experimental and numerical simulations was achieved in terms of damage patterns.     

Micro-CT Characterization on the Meso-Structure of Three-Dimensional Full Five-Directional Braided Composite

The meso-structure is important in predicting mechanical properties of the three-dimensional (3D) braided composite. In this paper, the internal structure and porosity of three-dimensional full five-directional (3DF5D) braided composite is characterized at mesoscopic scale (the scale of the yarns) using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) non-destructively. Glass fiber yarns as tracer are added into the sample made of carbon fiber to enhance the contrast in the sectional images. The model of tracer yarns is established with 3D reconstruction method to analyze the cross-section and path of yarns. The porosities are reconstructed and characterized in the end. The results demonstrate that the cross sections of braiding yarns and axial yarns change with the regions and the heights in one pitch of 3DF5D braided composites. The path of braiding yarns are various in the different regions while the axial yarns are always straight. Helical indentations appear on the surfaces of the axial yarns because of the squeeze from braiding yarns. Moreover, the porosities in different shapes and sizes are almost located in the matrix and between the yarns.     

三维角联锁机织铝基复合材料面内拉伸力学行为与失效机制

Evaluation of the mechanical and damage behaviour of tufted non crimped fabric composites using full field measurements

This paper investigates the effect of tufting on the mechanical properties of non crimped fabric (NCF) composites. In-plane behaviour is examined under tension and compression in the axial [0/90] and shear [±45] directions. Cyclic experiments in the bias and axial directions combined with a digital image correlation method (DICM) allow the investigation of damage distribution through the reduction of apparent stiffness and operations on the strain field. The out of plane mechanical response is studied via delamination tests in mode I and mode II. After studying each loading case individually, small structures of both composites are subjected to multi-loadings. Experimental results show that tufting reduces both the in plane stiffness and the strength in the axial direction (by approximately 10%), while it greatly enhances delamination resistance in the normal and shear directions. On the other hand tufts influence on in plane properties is moderate in the bias direction. But large differences were monitored between compression and tension response in the bias direction for standard and tufted composites. Discs punched tests inducing multi-loading (in and out of plane loading) show greater energy absorption but lower failure load for tufted specimens than for untufted. It was found that cyclic loading experiments monitored with DICM yields damage maps that offer a useful insight into damage development. Large damage differences are recorded between different load cases and lay ups. The results also show that the tufts influence the damage progression in the NCF.
