Abstract: | The effect of the matrix resin on the onset and growth of delamination in composite laminates has been investigated in this work. Two kinds of graphite/epoxy composite materials (T300/648-BF3/MEA and T300/634-DDS) with quite different matrix properties have been used. The study was done on two different layups, (±30)3/902]s and (±45)2/O2/902]s. Out-of-plane moiré interferometry and diiodomethane-enhanced X-radiography were used to detect delamination. A strength criterion for the onset of delaminatoin is proposed and an assessment made of the effect of matrix properties on delamination onset. A modified energy release rate model is presented for characterization of delamination growth emphasis being placed on assessing the behavior of delamination resistance curves and delamination growth rate. The results indicate that enhancement of matrix strength and ductility increases the critical loads for delamination onset and delamination resistance in the composite laminates under static loading, and significantly reduces the delamination growth rate under cyclic loading. |
