Macroscale assessment of low-velocity impact on hybrid composite laminates

Composites are usually brittle materials and have low impact properties. Structural dimensions, stacking sequence, ply materials, ply thicknesses and ply angles are standard variables that influence composite‘s performance against impact loads. Stacking sequence in hybrid laminates affects the failure and impact resistance. Failure mechanisms at the low-velocity impact of a rigid object in hybrid laminates are complex, and the subsurface damage in a composite laminate cannot be detected directly. However, various simulation platforms make it easy to see the impact damage between the plies of laminate. This paper numerically investigated the effect of stack sequence and hybridization of two fiber types against low-velocity impact. The current study adopted four-layer composite laminates of carbon and glass fiber layers with a stacking plan [C/C/C/C], [C/G/C/G] and [G/C/G/C], having lay-up angles as [0°/45°/−45°/90°]. Keeping the impactor mass and the incident velocity constant, the laminates were subjected to low-velocity impact. The damage contours for a failure mode were recorded and compared at the ply level. The numerical study resulted in impact imitations showing comparisons of the damage contours using Hashin failure criteria. Hybrid laminates display better performance in absorbing impact energies; however, hybrid laminates experienced more subsurface damage due to more impact energy absorption.

刚性卵形头弹撞击角度对编织复合材料层合板侵彻特性的影响

利用一级气炮发射卵形头弹撞击2 mm厚度的编织复合材料层合板,撞击角度分别为0°、30°和45°,通过高速相机记录弹靶撞击过程,并获得弹体速度数据。基于拟合公式处理试验数据,计算获取弹道极限,分析撞击角度对弹道极限、靶板能量吸收率及其失效模式的影响规律及机制。结果表明：弹体撞击角度为45°时,靶板弹道极限最高,其次为0°,撞击角度为30°时最小。随着冲击角度增加,层合板损伤形状从菱形逐渐转变为椭球形,损伤面积随冲击速度增加而增大,且45°冲击时层合板损伤面积最大,0°和30°冲击时损伤面积近似相等。弹体初始撞击角度对靶体失效模式存在影响,弹体撞击角度为0°时,纤维断口主要是剪切应力导致的横截面。撞击角度为30°时,纤维断口主要是剪切应力和拉伸应力导致的斜截面。45°斜撞击时,纤维断口主要是拉伸应力导致的横截面。     

基于断裂韧性预报复合材料层合板的开孔拉伸强度

开孔层合板的强度预报往往取决于孔边的临界长度,它不仅与材料性能,而且与铺层、孔径都有关。本文基于线弹性断裂力学,提出了一种预报对称铺层层合板开孔拉伸强度的新方法,只需提供正交层合板的断裂韧性和无缺口层合板的拉伸强度,显著降低对实验数据的依赖性。首先,将临界长度表作为层合板断裂韧性和无缺口拉伸强度的函数,再通过正交层合板[90/0]_8s的紧凑拉伸试验和虚拟裂纹闭合技术,确定出0°层断裂韧性,进而计算得到任意对称铺层层合板的断裂韧性。本文测试了T300/7901层合板[0/±45/90]_2s和[0/±30/±60/90]_s的开孔拉伸强度,孔径分别为3 mm、6 mm和9 mm。理论预报结果与试验值吻合较好,最大误差为15.2%,满足工程应用需求。

The effect of the measurement frequency on the elastic anisotropy of fibre laminates

Static tests and ultrasonic measurements (2.25 MHz) have been carried out on a series of composite laminates of glass fibres in a polypropylene matrix. A range of angle ply laminates were prepared for this study, with laminate angles θ of ±0, 10, 20, 30 and 40^∘. The high frequency measurements were made using the ultrasonic immersion technique, which allows the determination of a complete set of the elastic constants of a material. The relationship between the ultrasonically determined elastic constants of the angle ply laminates was found to be in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions, as previously validated for carbon fibre/epoxy angle ply laminates. A comparison between the ultrasonic and statically measured values was made for two of the angle ply laminates (θ = 0 and 20^∘). It was found that the static values were lower than those measured at ultrasonic frequency, particularly those constants that were more matrix dominated (for example the transverse moduli of the laminates). Measurements on a pure polypropylene sample at both testing frequencies confirmed that the change in matrix properties with frequency was the cause of this difference. The change in properties with test frequency is likely to be much larger in this system than in other composite materials because the glass transition temperature of polypropylene is close to ambient temperature. Dynamic mechanical tests (1 Hz) were carried out on a sample of pure polypropylene to assess this effect. We also give an appropriate method of estimating the dependence of glass transition temperature on frequency. The results for polypropylene are compared with those for other commonly used polymer matrix materials: epoxy resin, nylon and polyetheretherketone (PEEK): DMTA measurements were also made on these samples. The effect of test frequency on matrix properties, for the glass/PP laminates, was further investigated by examining the relationship of the Poisson's ratios with laminate angle using a mixture of ultrasonic experiments and theoretical predictions. Previously we have shown that the degree of anisotropy between the reinforcing fibre and the matrix phase is paramount in determining whether the material will show a negative Poisson's ratio at a critical laminate angle. The ultrasonic measurements carried out in this study on the glass/PP laminates showed a minimum in one of the Poisson's ratio at a laminate angle of 32°, but the value did not become negative. However, theoretical predictions showed that for a static frequency measurement (1 Hz), where the matrix is softer and hence the anisotropy of each laminate ply is higher, the laminate will show a negative Poisson's ratio with a minimum at a laminate angle of around 28°.     

Modelling off-axis ply matrix cracking in continuous fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composite laminates

The fracture process of composite laminates subjected to static or fatigue tensile loading involves sequential accumulation of intra- and interlaminar damage, in the form of transverse cracking, splitting and delamination, prior to catastrophic failure. Matrix cracking parallel to the fibres in the off-axis plies is the first damage mode observed. Since a damaged lamina within the laminate retains certain amount of its load-carrying capacity, it is important to predict accurately the stiffness properties of the laminate as a function of damage as well as progression of damage with the strain state. In this paper, theoretical modelling of matrix cracking in the off-axis plies of unbalanced symmetric composite laminates subjected to in-plane tensile loading is presented and discussed. A 2-D shear-lag analysis is used to determine ply stresses in a representative segment and the equivalent laminate concept is applied to derive expressions for Mode I, Mode II and the total strain energy release rate associated with off-axis ply cracking. Dependence of the degraded stiffness properties and strain energy release rates on the crack density and ply orientation angle is examined for glass/epoxy laminates. Suitability of a mixed mode fracture criterion to predict the cracking onset strain is also discussed.     

Characterisation of Transverse Cracking in a Quasi-Isotropic GFRP Laminate under Flexural Loading

Transverse cracking behaviour in a quasi-isotropic glass/epoxy (GFRP) laminate loaded in flexure is studied experimentally and theoretically. A theory developed for cross-ply laminates is applied to a [0°/90°/–45°/45°] _S quasi-isotropic laminate. An equivalent laminate is introduced to derive the Young's modulus of a cracked transverse ply on the basis of a shear lag analysis. The model predicts the flexural stiffness, the neutral axis position and the residual curvature as a function of the transverse crack density and the in-situ ply stress at first ply failure. Experimental results are obtained with the use of the applied moment – strain data in four-point flexural tests and compared with predictions. Time-dependent behaviour of the residual curvature is also investigated.The theoretical predictions are in reasonably good agreement with the experimental results. It is found that the decrease in the residual curvature after unloading is mainly ascribed to viscoelasticity of the material.
