Finite element simulation and experimental study on mechanical behavior of 3D woven glass fiber composite sandwich panels

The results of finite element simulation followed by an experimental study are presented in order to investigate the mechanical behavior of three-dimensional woven glass-fiber sandwich composites using FE method. Experimental load–displacement curves were obtained for flatwise compressive, edgewise compressive, shear, three-point bending and four-point bending loads on the specimens with three different core thicknesses in two principal directions of the sandwich panels, called warp and weft. A 3D finite element model is employed consisting of glass fabric and surrounding epoxy resin matrix in order to predict the mechanical behavior of such complex structures. Comparison between the finite element predictions and experimental data showed good agreement which implies that the FE simulation can be used instead of time-consuming experimental procedures to study the effect of different parameters on mechanical properties of the 3D woven sandwich composites.     

On the influence of weave structure on pin-loaded strength of orthogonal 3D composites

Orthogonal three-dimensional (3D) carbon fibre fabrics with different weave structures were obtained by varying the yarn spacing and number of carbon filaments per tow in the x-, y- and z-directions during weaving. These weave structures were impregnated with epoxy resin to produce orthogonal 3D carbon/epoxy composites. In addition, one-dimensional (0° and 90° unidirectional) and two-dimensional (cross-ply and plain fabric) laminates were prepared from the same carbon fibres and epoxy resin. Single-hole pin-loaded specimens of each material were tested in tension, and the influences of reinforcement type, weave structure, specimen width-to-hole diameter ratio and edge distance-to-hole diameter ratio evaluated. Various modes of failure were observed in the specimens. The effect of in-plane and out-of-plane fibres on the pin-loaded strength of orthogonal 3D composites is discussed.

Numerical analysis of bending and transverse shear properties of plain-weave fabric composite laminates considering intralaminar inhomogeneity

In this study, the bending and transverse shear properties of plain-weave fabric composite laminates are investigated by considering the intralaminar inhomogeneity through finite element analysis. Using homogenization procedures, the effective Reissner–Mindlin plate bending and transverse shear properties of composite laminates are calculated. Assuming the number of plies to be infinite, the effective three-dimensional (3D) continuum properties (elastic properties of the equivalent 3D bulk material) of the composite are also calculated. Then, the effect of the number of plies on the bending stiffness and transverse shear stiffness of the laminate, in other words, the effect of the intralaminar inhomogeneity on the laminate stiffness, is investigated. Through the numerical investigation, it is found that if the number of plies of the laminate is very small, the bending stiffness and transverse shear stiffness of the laminate are significantly lower than those evaluated using effective 3D continuum properties.     

Drilling in carbon/epoxy composites: Experimental investigations and finite element implementation

Drilling carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRPs) is typically cumbersome due to high structural stiffness of the composite and low thermal conductivity of plastics. Resin-rich areas between neighbouring plies in a laminate are prone to drilling-induced delamination that compromises structural integrity. Appropriate selection of drilling parameters is believed to mitigate damage in CFRPs. In this context, we study the effect of cutting parameters on drilling thrust force and torque during the machining process both experimentally and numerically. A unique three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of drilling in a composite laminate, accounting for complex kinematics at the drill-workpiece interface is developed. Cohesive zone elements are used to simulate interply delamination in a composite. Experimental quantification of drilling-induced damage is performed by means of X-ray micro computed tomography. The developed numerical model is shown to agree reasonably well with the experiments. The model is used to predict optimal drilling parameters in carbon/epoxy composites.     

Simulations and experiments of open hole tension tests – Assessment of intra-ply plasticity,damage, and localization

Laminated composites with various layups of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced epoxy are investigated by numerical modeling and experimental testing. Open hole tension configurations are studied with special considerations of the non-linear behavior of the plies. Computational predictions are based on an anisotropic constitutive material law which includes plasticity and damage, the latter comprise hardening as well as softening. Experimental evaluations include a 3D image correlation photogrammetry system for capturing the strain fields of the sample surfaces.     

The environmental fatigue behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced polyether ether ketone

The fatigue behaviour of carbon fibre/PEEK composite is compared with that of carbon/ epoxy material of similar construction, particularly in respect of the effect of hygrothermal conditioning treatments. Laminates of both materials were of 0/90 lay-up, and they were tested in repeated tension at 0° and at 45° to the major fibre axis. The superior toughness of the polyether ether ketone and its better adhesion to the carbon fibres results in composites of substantially greater toughness than that of the carbon/epoxy material, and this is reflected in the fatigue behaviour of the carbon fibre/PEEK. The tougher PEEK matrix inhibits the development of local fibre damage and fatigue crack growth, permitting a 0/90 composite with compliant XAS fibres to perform as well in fatigue as an epoxy laminate with stiffer HTS fibres. Hygrothermal treatments have no effect on the fatigue response of either material in the 0/90 orientation. The fatigue response of a cross-plied carbon/PEEK laminate in the ±45° orientation is much better than that of equivalent carbon/epoxy composites, again because the superior properties of the thermoplastic matrix.
