碳纤维-超高分子量聚乙烯纤维混杂增强环氧树脂复合材料低速冲击性能与失效机制

碳纤维/环氧树脂基复合材料层合板在航天、汽车等领域应用广泛,使用中难免遇到低速冲击事件(生产使用过程中工具坠落等)产生安全隐患,分层破坏是其受到低速冲击后的主要损伤形式,会严重影响复合材料层合板的强度和使用寿命。为提高其抗冲击性能,通过短纤维增韧的方式探究超高分子量聚乙烯短纤维的铺层数量和铺层位置对复合材料层合板低速冲击性能的影响。研究结果表明：添加6层短纤维的复合材料层合板最大载荷由3.19 kN增加到4.86 kN,吸收能量由18.27 J增加到28.89 J,分别提高了52.3%和58.12%。冲击后剩余强度明显提高,两层短纤维铺层增韧方式的复合材料层合板冲击后剩余强度最大,为164.73 MPa,相比原样提高95%。超高分子量聚乙烯短纤维加入后复合材料层合板的冲击损伤阻抗提高,冲击后的凹痕深度下降,并且抗分层能力提升。其增韧机制是断裂面表面能增加,冲击使部分纤维被拔出,出现纤维桥联现象,拔出的纤维会降低分层前沿的应力集中,增大分层扩展的阻力,使分层破坏在扩展过程中需要消耗更多的能量,有效阻碍了裂纹的传播。

Characterization of fracture modes in stitched and unstitched cross-ply laminates subjected to low-velocity impact and compression after impact loading

The insertion of transverse reinforcing threads by stitching is a very promising technique to restrict impact damage growth and to improve post-impact residual strength of laminates. In order to develop general models capable of addressing the issues of impact resistance and damage tolerance of stitched laminates, detailed understanding of the nature and extent of damage, identification of the dominant fracture modes and assessment of the effect of stitches on the damage development are essential. In this study, both instrumented drop-weight tests and compression-after-impact tests were carried out to examine and compare the damage responses of stitched and unstitched graphite/epoxy laminates subjected to low-velocity impact. The progression of damage and its effect on post-impact performance was investigated in detail in two classes of cross ply laminates ([0₃/90₃]_s and [0/90]_3s) by means of an extensive series of damage observations, conducted with various complementary techniques (X-radiography, ultrasonics, optical microscopy, deply). The results of the analyses carried out during the study to characterize the key fracture modes and to clarify their relationship with the structural performance of both stitched and unstitched laminates are reported and discussed in the paper.     

Interaction of laminate damage and adhesive disbonding in composite scarf joints subjected to combined in-plane loading and impact

Impact tests were carried out on composite laminates and composite scarf repairs, while both were subjected to in-plane loading with tensile pre-strain levels up to 5000 microstrain. The results show that pre-straining of the composite laminates has no noticeable influence on the size of the delamination area for the given impact energy of 8 J, which represents a typical barely-visible impact on thin-skin composite structures. For composite scarf joints, however, resulting damage has been found to be a combination of adhesive disbonding and matrix cracking (delamination and intraply cracking) in the composite laminate. The size of this mixed type of damage increases significantly with increasing pre-strain levels. A finite element model was developed to investigate the interaction between adhesive disbonding and composite delamination. The computational results reveal that both delamination and adhesive disbonding are dominated by the mode II fracture. Since the critical mode II fracture energy release rate for composite laminates (G_IIC = 1.08 kJ/m²) is much less than that pertinent to the adhesive (G_IIC = 3.73 kJ/m²), delamination tends to occur first in the composite laminates, which then shield the growth of disbonding in the adhesive.     

Effect of off-axis ply orientation on 0°-fibre microbuckling

The aim of the present work is to study both experimentally and theoretically the compression failure mechanisms in multi-directional composite laminates, and especially the effect of the off-axis ply orientation on fibre microbuckling in the 0°-plies. The critical mechanism in the compressive fracture of unidirectional polymer matrix composites is plastic microbuckling/kinking. In multi-directional composites with internal 0°-plies, catastrophic failure also initiates by kinking of 0°-plies at the free-edges or manufacturing defects, followed by delamination. When 0°-plies are located at the outside, or in the case of cross-ply laminates, failure rather tends to occur by out-of-plane buckling of the 0°-plies. T800/924C carbon-fibre–epoxy laminates with a [(±θ/0₂)₂]_s lay-up are used here to study the effect of the supporting ply angle θ on the stress initiation of 0°-fibre microbuckling. Experimental data on the compressive strength of laminates with θ equal to 30, 45, 60 or 75° are compared to theoretical predictions obtained from a fibre kinking model that incorporates interlaminar shear stresses developed at the free edges at (0/θ) interfaces. Initial misalignment of the fibres and non-linear shear behaviour of the matrix are also included in the analysis.     

Stiffness and fracture analysis of laminated composites with off-axis ply matrix cracking

Matrix cracks parallel to the fibres in the off-axis plies is the first intralaminar damage mode observed in laminated composites subjected to static or fatigue in-plane tensile loading. They reduce laminate stiffness and strength and trigger development of other damage modes, such as delaminations. This paper is concerned with theoretical modelling of unbalanced symmetric laminates with off-axis ply cracks. Closed-form analytical expressions are derived for Mode I, Mode II and the total strain energy release rates associated with off-axis ply cracking in [0/θ]_s laminates. Stiffness reduction due to matrix cracking is also predicted analytically using the Equivalent Constraint Model (ECM) of the damaged laminate. Dependence of the degraded stiffness properties and strain energy release rates on the crack density and ply orientation angle is examined for glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy laminates. Suitability of a mixed mode fracture criterion to predict the cracking onset strain is also discussed.     

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。

Fracture behavior in CFRP cross-ply laminates with initially cut fibers

This study qualitatively investigates the effects of initially cut fibers (slits) on fracture behavior in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) cross-ply laminates, which had alternate or identical slit angle ±θ in the 0° plies. Damage progress during tensile tests was observed for several geometries of cutting. We also numerically evaluated fracture behavior in laminates with slits by a layer-wise finite-element model with cohesive elements. The simulated damage patterns included matrix cracks along the slits, splits in the 0° layer from the slit tips, and transverse cracks in the 90° layer. Delamination was also generated at the crossing point of ply cracks due to the large shear stress, and then extended to form the triangular region bounded by the slits and splits. The predicted damage extension to the final failure agreed with the observations. A numerical study demonstrated that the damage near the slits produced a stress field similar to that of a penetrating notch.     

Impact damage and residual strengths of woven fabric glass/polyester laminates

Thick glass/polyester laminates of four different dimensions subject to low-velocity impact have been investigated using a guided drop-weight test rig with a flat-ended impactor in ascending energy order up to 3100 J. The characteristics of impact response and energy absorption have been determined by impact force and absorbed energy histories, and impact damage incurred was examined by cross-sectioning and ultrasonic C-scanning. Residual compressive strengths were measured, and the damage tolerance of the laminates was assessed by the retaining ability of these strengths. It is found that the salient features in force-time history curves can be related to fracture processes occurring in the laminates, and that the established relationships between impact force and incident kinetic energy (IKE) can be used to identify damage initiation without examining impacted specimens, which is later confirmed by the damage force maps. The constructed damage force and energy maps have shown not only damage initiation in an unstable fashion but also increase of damage size with IKE and force until reaching their load-bearing capabilities. Residual compressive strengths are reduced very rapidly with the increase of impact damage due to extensive delamination.
