Modeling delamination growth in composites under fatigue loadings of varying amplitudes

A numerical model was developed to simulate the progressive delamination of a composite subjected to mode I fatigue loading regimes of varying amplitude. The model employs a cohesive zone approach, which combines damage mechanics and fracture mechanics, and requires only standard material data as input, namely the delamination toughness and the fatigue delamination growth curve. The proposed model was validated against delamination growth data obtained from a fatigue test conducted on a DCB specimen. The model predictions agree very well with the experimental results. This model is an initial step toward life prediction of composite structures subjected to complex fatigue regimes.     

Influence of adsorption behaviour of a silane coupling agent on interlaminar fracture in glass fibre fabric-reinforced unsaturated polyester laminates

The relationship between the interphase consisting of physisorbed and chemisorbed silane on glass fibres and the resultant composite Mode I delamination fracture toughness in glass fibre fabric laminate, was studied. The Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of the laminate specimen was obtained by using a double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen. The delamination resistance of the laminate specimen finished with two silane concentrations and washed in methanol solvent, is discussed on the basis of the interlaminar fracture toughness. In order to determine the amount of physisorbed and chemisorbed silane on the glass fibre, the amount of total carbon was determined using an analysis instrument. The physisorbed silane migrated into the resin matrix and influenced the mechanical properties and interlaminar fracture of the laminate specimen. The amount of unsaturated polyester resin blended with a silane coupling agent was measured using dynamic mechanical spectroscopy, and a DCB specimen for mechanical properties and fracture toughness.     

Delamination of multidirectional composite laminates at 0°/θ° ply interfaces

The main objective of this study is to develop a methodology for establishing mixed-mode delamination propagation criteria of non-unidirectional laminates. The crack interface was chosen to be 0°/45° and the effort was mainly focused on obtaining the mode I fracture toughness (G_IC). The widely used DCB test was avoided due to anticipated problems with intralaminar damage developing at the ply interface of interest. The ADCB and AMMF methods were used to determine the mixed-mode fracture toughness with the largest amount of mode I. The selected stacking sequence resulted in desirable crack propagation behavior; there was no change of delamination plane, an acceptable crack front profile, no initial specimen curvature, and no energy dissipation through global specimen damage. Finite element simulation was found to be the only tool capable of analyzing the experimental data.     

Influence of silane coupling agents on interlaminar fracture in glass fibre fabric reinforced unsaturated polyester laminates

The relationship between the adhesive properties of the interphase of glass fibre/resin and the resultant composite Mode I delamination fracture toughness in glass fibre fabric laminate (GFFL) was studied. The Mode I interlaminar fracture toughness of GFFL was obtained by using a double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen. The delamination resistance of GFFLs which have two silane coupling agents and three concentration finishes is discussed on the basis of interlaminar fracture toughness. The crack propagation behaviour of DCB testing was mainly divided into stable and unstable manners. The fracture toughness and the crack propagation behaviour were dependent on the types and concentration of silane coupling agents.     

Z-pins对层合复合材料非对称分层增韧作用参数分析——Ⅰ型层间韧性

假设纤维Z-pins的桥联力与嵌入厚度成正比,建立适于非对称分层(分层位于层合板厚度方向上的任意位置)的Z-pin细观力学模型并构造相应的Z-pin单元,结合考虑一阶剪切变形的梁单元,建立了用于分析含浅部分层采用Z-pins增韧的双悬臂梁(Double cantilever beam,DCB)有限元模型,并在分层裂纹面上引入接触单元以防止分析过程中2个分层子梁在分层前缘处的相互嵌入。通过数值算例分析了Z-pins对含非对称分层的DCB试件Ⅰ型层间韧性的增强作用。参数分析表明,当分层位置靠近层合板的表面时,Z-pins的增韧作用明显下降,其较薄分层子层的厚度是决定Z-pins对Ⅰ型层间韧性增强效果的关键参数。     

An application of the single specimen technique to a double cantilever beam specimen to determine GIC from a single test record

The single specimen technique is effectively used in classical fracture mechanics for evaluating the J-integral from a single test record. It was previously shown using a cracked lap shear specimen that the technique can be applied to composite structures and the energy release rate of composite laminates can be determined from a single test specimen. The objective of this investigation is to determine the η_el form of a double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen, and to compare it with that of a compact tension (CT) specimen. The result showed that while η_el is linearly related to crack length for the CT specimen, it is proportional to the reciprocal of the crack length for the DCB composite specimen. Also, G_Ic determined from the compliance method was compared with that determined from the η_el approach. The result showed that the η_el form determined from a single beam analysis can be used to determine G_Ic from a single test record.     

Composite toughness enhancement with interlaminar reinforcement

An experimental investigation of a newly proposed through-thickness reinforcement approach aimed to increase interlaminar toughness of laminated composites is presented. The approach alters conventional methods of creating three-dimensional fiber-reinforced polymer composites in that the reinforcing element is embedded into the host laminate after it has been cured. The resulting composite is shown to possess the benefits of a uniform surface quality and consolidation of the original unreinforced laminate. This technique was found to be highly effective in suppressing the damage propagation in delamination double-cantilever beam (DCB) test samples under mode I loading conditions. Pullout testing of a single reinforcing element was carried out to understand the bridging mechanics responsible for the improved interlaminar strength of reinforced laminate and stabilization and/or arrest of delamination crack propagation. The mode I interlaminar fracture of reinforced DCB samples was modeled using two-dimensional cohesive finite-element scheme to support interpretation of the experiments.     

PBO纤维增强环氧树脂复合材料层间Ⅰ型断裂韧性的DIC技术测量

Ⅰ型双悬臂梁(DCB)试验通常用于单向复合材料的层间抗拉性能研究,目标是测量Ⅰ型层间断裂韧性,其可作为复合材料分层扩展及失效机制研究的重要输入参数。在DCB试验中必须经常暂停试验以实现多次测量裂纹长度,这不仅会对裂纹传播产生潜在影响,造成测量误差且多次反复试验的时效性较差。数字图像相关(DIC)测试技术应用于裂纹扩展长度测量具有实时跟踪、精确定位的优点,可有效提高Ⅰ型断裂韧性试验的测量效率,但应用于非连续变形行为仍存在局限性,且易受到图像噪声的干扰,产生测量误差。本文发展了一种基于DIC测试技术的实时获取裂纹长度的检测方法,通过图像匹配算法获取试件的非连续变形位移场,并提出一种根据全局横向位移离散程度的辨别方法,实现了裂纹尖端的实时捕捉。再通过DCB试验,与传统测量方式对比,裂纹长度的测量误差平均不超过2.76%,验证了该方法的准确性和高效性,同时也克服了聚对苯撑苯并双噁唑(PBO)/环氧树脂复合材料侧表面毛糙、散斑质量较差及纤维桥接对测量结果的干扰,最终获取了有效的Ⅰ型层间断裂韧性初始值及稳态扩展值。
