Debonding and fiber pull-out in reinforced composites

In order to evaluate the strength of fiber-reinforced composites, there is first the need to investigate the interfacial debonding and the pull-out of fibers in a fractured composite with intact fibers. This type of problem in crack bridging has been investigated by several authors based on different models and assumptions [1–7]. In this study, we will consider a three-dimensional model of a single fiber of finite length bonded by a finite cylindrical matrix with an initial crack existing in a portion of the interface. In the model, one end of the cylinder is so constrained that the axial component of displacement vanishes. A tensile stress is applied to the fiber at the other end. The aim is to determine the pull-out of the fiber and the critical condition for interfacial debonding. Both the fiber and the matrix are treated as elastic materials. Analysis is made based on a method using Papkovich-Neuber displacement potential functions for the problem of an elastic solid subjected to axisymmetrical boundary conditions. Solutions are found by means of the technique of trigonometrical series. Effects of initial misfit strains and frictional sliding between the fiber and the matrix over the interfacial crack are also included in the study.

Multi-Scale Experiments and Interfacial Mechanical Modeling of Carbon Nanotube Fiber

The multi-scale deformation and interfacial mechanical behavior of carbon nanotube fibers with multi-level structures are investigated by experimental and theoretical methods. Multi-scale experiments including uniaxial tensile testing, in situ Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy are conducted to measure the mechanical response of multi-level structures within the fiber under tension. A two-level interfacial mechanical model is then presented to analyze the interfacial bonding strength of mesoscopic bundles and microscopic nanotubes. The evolution characteristics of multi-scale deformation of the fiber are described based on experimental characterization and interfacial strength analysis. The strengthening mechanism of the fiber is further studied. Comprehensive analysis shows that the property of multi-level interfaces is a critical factor for the fiber strength and toughness. Finally, the method of improving the mechanical properties of fiber-based materials is discussed. The result can be used to guide multi-level interface engineering of carbon nanotube fibers and fiber-based composites to produce high performance materials.     

压入实验界面端奇异性研究

纤维压入实验是复合材料界面剪切强度细观实验方法之一,其试件通常由复合材料中切割下来制备而成,从中选取单根纤维,进行压入试验,所以被选中的纤维可看成是被纤维和纯基本材料构成的横观各向同性复合材料所包裹。本文以此为依据,建立了横观各向同性复合材料基体包裹各向同性纤维的轴对称模型,采用逐次渐近等求解方法,得到了求解该模型界面端应力奇异性指数的特征方程,并计算了碳纤维／环氧树脂、碳纤维／铝和碳纤维／Al2O3压入试件界面端奇异性随碳纤维体积百分含量的变化情况。

Evaluation of the Effect of Thermal Oxidation and Moisture on the Interfacial Shear Strength of Unidirectional IM7/BMI Composite by Fiber Push-in Nanoindentation

Fiber push-in nanoindentation is conducted on a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced bismaleimide resin composite (IM7/BMI) after thermal oxidation to determine the interfacial shear strength. A unidirectional IM7/BMI laminated plate is isothermally oxidized under various conditions: in air for 2 months at 195 °C and 245 °C, and immersed in water for 2 years at room temperature to reach a moisture-saturated state. The water-immersed specimens are subsequently placed in a preheated environment at 260 °C to receive sudden heating, or are gradually heated at a rate of approximately 6 °C/min. A flat punch tip of 3 μm in diameter is used to push the fiber into the matrix while the resulting load-displacement data is recorded. From the load-displacement data, the interfacial shear strength is determined using a shear-lag model, which is verified by finite element method simulations. It is found that thermal oxidation at 245 °C in air leads to a significant reduction in interfacial shear strength of the IM7/BMI unidirectional composite, while thermal oxidation at 195 °C and moisture concentration have a negligible effect on the interfacial shear strength. For moisture-saturated specimens under a slow heating rate, there is no detectable reduction in the interfacial shear strength. In contrast, the moisture-saturated specimens under sudden heating show a significant reduction in interfacial shear strength. Scanning electron micrographs of IM7/BMI composite reveal that both thermal oxidation at 245 °C in air and sudden heating induced microcracks and debonding along the fiber/matrix interface, thereby weakening the interface, which is the origin of failure mechanism.     

界面端应力奇异性与复合材料界面剪切强度细观实验分散性分析

复合材料细观实验方法主要有纤维拔出、纤维压力、纤维段裂和微球脱粘实验等四种；但这四种试验得到的界面剪切强度结果存在很大的分散性。虽经三十余年的研究和改进，仍未能消除。为研究分散性产生的原因，本文以轴对称界面端应力奇异性分析为基础，推导出求解四种试件界面端的特征值的特征方程，并给出了特征值随Dundurs常数的变化情况，由此发现用相同的纤维和基体制作的四种试件在界面端存在奇异性不同的应力场，从而阐明了四种界面剪切强度试验结果巨大分散性的产生原因在于纤维和基体间界面处的应力奇异性。     

Two-fold enhancement in tensile strength of carbon nanotube–carbon fiber hybrid epoxy composites through combination of electrophoretic deposition and alternating electric field

A new carbon nanotube (CNT)–hybridized carbon fiber (CF) was introduced in an attempt to improve interfacial strength between CF and polymeric matrix. Amine-functionalized CNTs was radially deposited on the CF surface through a combination of alternating electric field with electrophoretic deposition process. Radial deposition of CNTs on CF formed a unique porous structure around CF that could significantly increase the interfacial adhesion through interlocking of polymeric matrix. Tensile properties and fatigue life of the reinforced composites were investigated in order to study the effect of interfacial adhesion on mechanical properties of reinforced composites. Results indicate that the radial deposition of CNT on CF can remarkably enhance the compatibility of polymeric matrix with CF. This improvement in compatibility of polymeric matrix with CNT–hybridized CF resulted in considerable enhancement in mechanical properties of composites. The interfacial reinforcing mechanism was explored through fractography of reinforced composites and possible failure modes have been precisely discussed.     

Micromechanical modeling of the microbond test to quantify the interfacial properties of fiber-reinforced composites

The present study has focused on achieving a micromechanical understanding of the microbond test, which involves pulling a fiber out of a bead of matrix (i.e. droplet) through a knife-edge, in order to quantify the interfacial fracture properties of fiber-reinforced composites. According to the microbond test results for carbon-fiber and epoxy-resin system, matrix cracking occurred during the fiber pullout, in addition to the debonding at the fiber–matrix interface. Therefore, in evaluating the fracture properties of the fiber–matrix interface, we should pay attention to the coupling effects of matrix failure and interfacial debonding on the test results. Then, we discuss how to best extract the interfacial properties while excluding the influence of matrix plasticity and cracking, using numerical simulations. The key mechanism demonstrated here is that the pullout force, in the cases where the influence of matrix cracking is negligible, appears as the upper limit among the experimental data of the pullout force for a constant initial embedded length of the fiber in the matrix. For this reason, the upper-limit data all over the range of embedded fiber length in experiments can be reasonably evaluated by the simulation focusing on the debonding process with matrix plasticity. This evaluation technique is effective as a way of extracting interfacial properties appropriately from microbond test results.     

单纤维段裂试验评述

单纤维段裂试验作为复合材料界面剪切强度的一种测试方法被沿用至今.但是, 这种方法的可信度已受到一些研究者的质疑.为了明确单纤维段裂试验的问题, 本文首先对试验技术、试验结果分析等方面作了概述, 并指出: 纤维段裂的饱和状态是单纤维段裂试验的终点标志,以及临界长度是由试验得到的唯一数据, 而这二点是这种试验方法独具的特点, 同时也是这种试验方法难以克服的缺陷.在单纤维段裂试验中, 按照纤维段界面端处的局部损伤模式, 有3种界面端应力奇异性分析的问题需要予以考虑:(1)纤维断裂, 基体没有开裂, 和界面没有脱粘;(2)纤维断裂, 基体开裂, 但界面没有脱粘;(3)纤维断裂, 界面脱粘, 基体已开裂或基体未开裂.在单纤维段裂试验的界面端应力奇异性分析的基础上, 本文对单纤维段裂试验的可靠性进行了研究.结论是: 任何纤维和基体组成的复合材料的单纤维段裂试验都存在界面端应力奇异性, 这就排除了用单纤维段裂试验测定界面剪切强度的可能性.

Effects of adhesive thickness on global and local Mode-I interfacial fracture of bonded joints

The interfacial fracture of adhesively bonded structures is a critical issue for the extensive applications to a variety of modern industries. In the recent two decades, cohesive zone models (CZMs) have been receiving intensive attentions for fracture problems of adhesively bonded joints. Numerous global tests have been conducted to measure the interfacial toughness of adhesive joints. Limited local tests have also been conducted to determine the interface traction-separation laws in adhesive joints. However, very few studies focused on the local test of effects of adhesive thickness on the interfacial traction-separation laws. Interfacial toughness and interfacial strength, as two critical parameters in an interfacial traction-separation law, have important effect on the fracture behaviors of bonded joints. In this work, the global and local tests are employed to investigate the effect of adhesive thickness on interfacial energy release rate, interfacial strength, and shapes of the interfacial traction-separation laws. Basically, the measured laws in this work reflect the equivalent and lumped interfacial fracture behaviors which include the cohesive fracture, damage and plasticity. The experimentally determined interfacial traction-separation laws may provide valuable baseline data for the parameter calibrations in numerical models. The current experimental results may also facilitate the understanding of adhesive thickness-dependent interface fracture of bonded joints.     

Experimental studies of interfacial instabilities in multilayer pressure-driven flow of polymeric melts

The interfacial deformation and stability of two-(A-B) as well as three-layer symmetric (A-B-A) and asymmetric (A-B-C) pressure-driven flow of viscoelastic fluids has been investigated. Flow visualization in conjunction with digital image processing has been used to observe and measure the rate of encapsulation and interfacial stability/instability of the flow. Specifically, the encapsulation behavior as well as stability/instability of the interface and the corresponding growth or decay rate of disturbances as a function of various important parameters, namely, number of layers and their arrangement, layer depth ratio, viscosity and elasticity ratio as well as disturbance frequency, have been investigated. Based on these experiments, we have shown that the encapsulation phenomena occurs irrespective of the stability/instability of the interface and in cases when both encapsulation and instability occur simultaneously their coupling leads to highly complex and three-dimensional interfacial wave patterns. Moreover, it has been shown that the simple notion that less viscous fluids encapsulate more viscous fluids is incorrect and depending on the wetting properties of the fluid as well as their first and second normal stresses the reverse could occur. Additionally, in two- and three-layer flows it has been shown that by placing a thin, less viscous layer adjacent to the wall longwave disturbances can be stabilized while short and intermediate wavelength disturbances are stabilized when the more elastic fluid is the majority component. Furthermore, in three-layer flows it has been demonstrated that in the linear instability regime no dynamic interaction between the two interfaces is possible for short and intermediate wavenumber disturbances. However, in the nonlinear stability regime dynamic interactions between interfaces have been observed in this range of disturbance wavenumbers leading to highly chaotic flows. Finally, in the parameter space of this study no subcritical bifurcations were observed while supercritical bifurcations resulting in waves with a pointed front and a gradual tail were observed.

A time dependent micro-mechanical fiber composite model for inelastic zone growth in viscoelastic matrices

In this work, a fiber composite model is developed to predict the time dependent stress transfer behavior due to fiber fractures, as driven by the viscoelastic behavior of the polymer matrix, and the initiation and propagation of inelastic zones. We validate this model using in situ, room temperature, micro-Raman spectroscopy fiber strain measurements. Multifiber composites were placed under constant load creep tests and the fiber strains were evaluated with time after one fiber break occurred. These composite specimens ranged in fiber volume fraction and strain level. Comparison between prediction and MRS measurements allows us to characterize key in situ material parameters, the critical matrix shear strain for inelastic zones and interfacial frictional slip shear stress. We find that the inelastic zone is predominately either shear yielding or interfacial slipping, and the type depends on the local fiber spacing.
