利用有限元方法求取单向纤维增强复合材料的横向弹性性能参数的计算模型包括三维模型、两维平面应变模型、单胞模型等等.由于单胞模型仅仅适用于纤维规则排列情况.在纤维随机分布且纤维大小亦为随机时,单向纤维增强复合材料横向弹性性能参数必须通过对于复合材料块体的计算才能获得.同时在随机分布纤维的数量增大时,三维模型和二维平面应变模型的计算量急剧增加,模型的处理能力不强.该文提出一种利用内嵌区域模型来计算含大量随机大小、随机分布细小纤维的单向纤维增强复合材料块体的横向弹性性能参数的方法,有效降低了计算量.在较低的计算费用下,能够快速获得单向纤维增强复合材料的横向弹性性能参数.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of three-dimensional five-directional braided composites

Three-dimensional (3D) five-directional braided composites are significant structural materials in the fields of astronauts and aeronautics. On the basis of the 3D five-directional braiding process, three types of microstructural unit cell models are established with respect to the interior, surface and corner regions. The mathematical relationships among the structural parameters, such as fiber orientation, fiber volume fraction, the yarn packing factor, are derived. By using these three unit cell models, a micromechanical prediction procedure is described to simulate the stiffness and strength properties of 3D five-directional braided composites. Only the in situ constituent fiber and matrix properties of the composites and the fiber volume proportion are required in the simulation. The stress states generated in the constituent fiber and matrix materials are explicitly correlated with the overall applied load on the composites. The predictive stiffness and strength are in good agreement with available experimental data, which demonstrates the applicability of the present analytical model.     

DETERMINATION OF INTERNAL STRAIN IN 3-D BRAIDED COMPOSITES USING OPTIC FIBER STRAIN SENSORS

A reliable understanding of the properties of 3-D braided composites is of primary importance for proper utilization of these materials. A new method is introduced to study the mechanical performance of braided composite materials using embedded optic fiber sensors. Experimental research is performed to devise a method of incorporating optic fibers into a 3-D braided composite structure. The efficacy of this new testing method is evaluated on two counts. First, the optical performance of optic fibers is studied before and after incorporated into 3-D braided composites, as well as after completion of the manufacturing process for 3-D braided composites, to validate the ability of the optic fiber to survive the manufacturing process. On the other hand, the influence of incorporated optic fiber on the original braided composite is also researched by tension and compression experiments. Second, two kinds of optic fiber sensors are co-embedded into 3-D braided composites to evaluate their respective ability

Nonlinear bending behavior of 3D braided rectangular plates subjected to transverse loads in thermal environments

Nonlinear bending behavior of 3D braided rectangular plates subjected to transverse loads is investigated. A new micro-macro-mechanical model of unit cells is suggested. In this model, a 3D braided composite may be considered as a cell system and the geometry of each cell is deeply dependent on its position in the cross-section of the plate. The material properties of the epoxy are expressed as a linear function of temperature. Based on Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation plate theory and general von Kármán-type equations, analytical solutions for nonlinear bending behavior of simply supported 3D braided rectangular plates are obtained using mixed Galerkin-perturbation method. The numerical examples concern effects of geometric parameters, of fiber volume fraction, braiding angle and load boundary condition.

Experimental and analytical characterization of multidimensionally braided graphite/epoxy composites

This paper presents results of an investigation of a novel, through-the-thickness fiber-reinforced composite material. The generic name for this composite technology is multidimensional (X-D) braiding. X-D braided composites consist of a net-shaped, densely braided fiber skeleton which is rigidized with a structural epoxy-resin system. This material is an alternative to the conventional laminated composite and has the potential for being more resistant to delamination and matrix cracking. This paper describes results of the mechanical characterization of one graphite fiber system which was braided into panels in which two braid parameters could be investigated. The variables investigated included the effect of edge condition and braid pattern on the tensile, compressive and flexural properties of the braided panels. These properties were obtained in the braid direction only. The cutting of the specimen edges substantially reduced both tensile and flexural strengths and moduli. Of the three braid patterns investigated, 1×1, 3×1, and 1×1×1/2 F, the 3×1 braid pattern showed superior tensile performance, while the 1×1×1/2 F braid pattern exhibited superior flexural properties. The development of an analytical method for modeling the tensile performance of the multidimensionally (X-D) braided composite is also presented. The fiber geometry in X-D braids was modeled based on the braid parameters used in the construction of these composites. By the nature of the symmetry of the resulting braided structure, an analytical model based on classical lamination theory was used to determine the extensional stiffness in the three principal geometric directions of a braided composite. These analytical results are shown to compare favorably with those obtained experimentally. Finally, to further validate the ability of this material to contain damage, multidimensionally braided and conventionally laminated panels were impacted and the resulting damage was nondestructively determined. The multidimensionally braided material was shown to reduce the area of damage caused by impact by a factor of three for the energy levels tested.
