单向碳/环氧和玻纤/环氧复合材料扭转疲劳性能

提出碳/环氧复合材料作为柔性梁材料的可行性。对相同树脂基体的单向碳纤维复合材料和玻璃纤维/环氧复合材料的扭转疲劳性能进行研究。碳纤维复合材料的初始扭转刚度几乎与玻璃纤维复合材料相同。采用有限元计算的扭转刚度与试验结果吻合:扭转刚度主要受控于材料的剪切刚度。通过控制正弦波扭转的角度,进行了恒定受拉轴向荷载下的扭转疲劳试验。尽管根据循环次数降低了扭矩和扭转刚度振幅,无论是碳纤维还是玻璃纤维复合材料都没出现严重的破坏现象。X-射线CT的检查结果以及有限元计算的结果显示:主要是沿着纤维方向裂缝扩展引起扭转刚度的退化,碳纤维扭转疲劳寿命高于玻璃纤维复合材料。因此,根据扭转刚度和张拉-扭转疲劳性能,证实碳纤维具有很好的性能,可作为柔性梁的抗扭材料。

Torsion Fatigue Behavior of Unidirectional Carbon/Epoxy and Glass/Epoxy Composites

This paper presents results of the feasibility of carbon/epoxy composites (CFRP) as a future flexbeam material. Torsional behaviors of unidirectional CFRP and glass/epoxy composites (GFRP) with the same resin matrix were investigated. The initial torsional rigidity of CFRP was almost identical to that of GFRP.The torsional rigidities calculated using finite element analyses (FEA) agreed with the experimental results: the torsional rigidities are governed mainly by the material's shear stiffness. Torsion fat...
