Analysis of progressive fiber debonding in elastic laminates

The evolution of fiber debonding, and sliding, in fibrous laminates is modeled by a coupled micro/macro-mechanical analysis scheme. The laminates under consideration have a symmetric layup, and are subjected to mechanical loads. The individual plies are elastic, have a unidirectional reinforcement, and can suffer local damage at the fiber/matrix interface when the resolved normal and shear stresses exceed their ultimate magnitudes. The local fields in the plies are assumed to be periodic, and are approximated by the finite element method for overall loads and local resolved stresses that are in excess of the interface strength. Local effects in the individual plies are scaled up to the laminate analysis through stress transformation factors, which are a function of the elastic properties of the plies and their stacking configuration.The proposed analysis was implemented for a periodic array model of the laminas, and for in-plane loading of the laminate. The model predictions for a unidirectional steel/epoxy system subjected to transverse loading compare remarkably well with experimental measurements. This result, and several other examples given for axial and off-axis loading of SiC/CAS laminates, illustrate the model capabilities in predicting the overall strains in the presence of simultaneous, progressive debonding in the individual plies.

Uncertainties of unidirectional composite strength under tensile loading and variation of environmental condition

A probabilistic strength model is developed for unidirectional composites with fibers in hexagonal arrays. The model assumes that, a central core of broken fibers surrounded by unbroken fibers which are subjected to unidirectional tensile loading. The proposed approach consists in using a modified shear lag model to calculate the ineffective lengths and stress concentrations around fiber breaks. The main feature in the model lies in incorporating the variation of composite properties due to temperature and moisture, in order to predict degradation of fibers and matrix characteristics. The strength degradation is often seen as a result of changes in ineffective lengths at fiber breaks, leading to stress concentrations in intact neighboring fibers. As fiber breaks are intrinsically random, the variability of input data allows us to describe the probabilistic model by using the Monte-Carlo method. The sensitivities of the mechanical response are evaluated regarding the uncertainties in design variables such as Young’s modulus of fibers and matrix, fiber reference strength, shear yield stress, fiber volume fraction and shear parameter defining the shear stress in the inelastic region.     

极端环境下连续碳纤维增韧的陶瓷基复合材料的力学行为

连续纤维增韧的碳化硅复合材料(以下简称C/SiC),作为超高速飞行器热结构使用时,有可能在高温环境下受到高速撞击的作用,因此,掌握其在极端环境(高温、高应变率)下的力学性能是进行结构安全设计的基础。本文采用具有高温实验能力的分离式Hopkinson杆,在293~1273K温度范围内进行了动态压缩力学性能测试,研究了环境温度和加载速率对材料力学性能的影响。结果表明:C/SiC复合材料的高温压缩力学性能主要受应力氧化损伤和残余应力的共同影响。实验温度低于873K时,应力氧化损伤的影响很小,而由于增强纤维和基体界面残余应力的释放使界面结合强度增大,复合材料的压缩强度随温度的升高而增大;当实验温度高于873K时,应力氧化损伤加剧,其对压缩强度的削弱超过残余应力释放对强度的贡献,材料的压缩强度随温度的升高逐渐降低。由于应力氧化损伤受应变率的影响很大,当温度由873K升高至1273K时,高应变率下压缩强度降低的程度要比应变率为0.0001/s时低得多。

Plastic strip model of circular crack under cyclic loading with damage accumulation

A cylindrical solid containing a penny-shaped crack in its mid plane is subjected to a remote tensile stress field. In the plastic region near the crack border, damage due to continuous deterioration of the material accumulates, and may lead to crack instability and crack growth. A damage model relating the crack opening displacement in the plastic zone to the fraction of the cross-sectional area occupied by voids is used to describe the conditions necessary for the onset of crack instability, fatigue crack propagation by cyclic loading, and rates of crack growth for time-dependent environmental effects.     

Effects of fatigue and environment on residual strengths of center-cracked graphite/epoxy buffer strip panels

Graphite/epoxy buffer strip panels were subjected to a fatigue loading spectrum, moisture conditioning, or heating and then statically tested in tension to determine their residual strengths. The specimens were made with T300/5208 graphite/epoxy in a 16-ply quasi-isotropic layup, [45/0/ - 45/90]_2s, with two different buffer strip materials: Kevlar-49 or S-glass. Each panel was cut in the center to represent damage.The panels made from each buffer strip material were divided into two test conditions: those panels tested at room temperature and those tested at 82°C. Each test condition was further divided into two groups, panels tested at ambient conditions and panels tested after moisture conditioning. Thus, there were four combinations of preconditioning and test condition: (1) ambient condition tested at room temperature, (2) moisture conditioned tested at room temperature, (3) ambient condition tested at 80°C, and (4) moisture conditioned tested at 82°C. After preconditioning and fatigue loading, all specimens were statically loaded in tension to failure to determine their residual strengths.After fatigue loading, the buffer strips arrested the crack growth and increased the residual strengths significantly over those of plain laminates without buffer strips under all conditions, with one exception. For the S-glass buffer strip panels with moisture conditioning, the buffer strip arrested the crack growth, but the residual strength was increased only slightly over the strength of a plain laminate. The stiffness of the panels was not affected by the fatigue cycling. Repeated fatigue cycling did not produce any damage growth at the crack tips.Paper was presented at the 1988 SEM Spring Conference on Experimental Mechanics held in Portland, OR on June 5–10.

Microstructural modeling of asphalt concrete using a coupled moisture–mechanical constitutive relationship

The coupled effect of moisture diffusion and mechanical loading on the microstructure of asphalt concrete is studied. The traditional Continuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) framework is modified to model detrimental effects of moisture and mechanical loading. Adhesive/cohesive moisture-induced damage constitutive relationships are proposed to describe the time-dependent degradation of material properties due to moisture. X-ray two-dimensional (2D) computed tomography-imaging technique is used to construct finite element (FE) microstructural representation of a typical dense-graded asphalt concrete. After being calibrated against pull-off experiments, the proposed moisture-induced damage constitutive relationship, which is coupled to thermo-viscoelastic–viscoplastic–viscodamage mechanisms, is used to simulate the microstructure of asphalt concrete. Simulation results demonstrate that the generated 2D FE microstructural representation along with the coupled moisture–mechanical constitutive relationship can be effectively used to model the overall thermo-hygro-mechanical response of asphalt concrete.

Effects of joining techniques on impact perforation resistance of assembled composite plates

A previous study on impact response of composite laminates concluded that impact perforation was the most important damage stage in composite laminates subjected to impact loading, since impact characteristics (peak force, contact duration and absorbed energy) and mechanical properties degradation of composite laminates reached critical points once perforation took place. It was also found that thickness had a greater influence on impact perforation resistance than did in-plane dimensions. However, as the composite laminates became very thick, the manufacturing cost for obtaining high-quality composite laminates increased. In an effort to meet design requirements and reduce manufacturing costs, assembled composite plates, which were organized by assembling multiple thin composite laminates, were considered as alternatives for thick single-laminate composite plates. Various joining techniques including mechanical riveting, adhesive bonding and stitch joining, and their combinations, were used in assembling two- and three-laminate plates. Experimental results revealed that adhesive bonding outperformed other joining techniques. Although good bonding resulted in higher joining (bending) stiffness and subsequently higher perforation thresholds, increasing the laminate thickness or the number of laminates was found to be more efficient in raising perforation threshold than in improving the joining stiffness. The assembled three-laminate plates were found to have higher perforation thresholds than their thick single-laminate counterpart.

A nonlinear constitutive model of unidirectional natural fiber reinforced composites considering moisture absorption

Moisture absorption in natural fiber reinforced composites causes remarkable degradation of mechanical properties. A nonlinear constitutive model is proposed to study the effect of the water uptake on the mechanical properties of unidirectional natural fiber reinforced composites. Accompanying the water absorption in the composites, there are several irreversible thermodynamic processes such as fiber degradation and interface damage. The energy dissipation induced by these processes is described by an internal variable, and two degradation parameters representing interface damage and fiber degradation are introduced to reflect the modulus reduction of the composite. Particularly, the model is used to derive the evolution of elastic moduli influenced by the moisture absorption. The predictions from the present model show a good agreement with experiment results of sisal fiber unidirectional reinforced composites.

Experimental Analysis and Damage Modeling of High-Density Polyethylene under Fatigue Loading

In this study,an experimental analysis for determining the fatigue strength of HDPE-100 under cyclic loading is presented.The curve of cumulative fatigue damage versus number of cycles(D-N) was deduced from stiffness degradation.Based on the three stage damage trend,the remaining fatigue life is numerically predicted by considering a double term power damage accumulation model.This model is found to be accurate,both in modeling the rapid damage growth in the early life and near the end of the fatigue life.Numerical results illustrate that the proposed model is capable of accurately fitting several different sets of experimental data.     

一种考虑非比例附加损伤的多轴低周疲劳模型

在实际工作环境中,机械结构往往承受着多轴非比例循环载荷.相比多轴比例循环加载,多轴非比例循环加载由于产生了附加强化现象,造成机械结构疲劳寿命下降.通过分析薄壁圆筒管件在非比例加载工况下应力应变变化规律和发生破坏位置,本文基于临界面法提出一种考虑多轴非比例附加损伤的疲劳模型.该模型将最大剪切应变幅平面作为临界面,提出一个新的附加强化因子,结合临界面上切应变幅和正应变幅组成新的多轴疲劳损伤参量.此参量不仅考虑了非比例加载下临界面上正应变幅和切应变幅对材料造成的疲劳损伤,还考虑到应变路径的变化和材料非比例加载敏感特性对材料疲劳寿命的影响.考虑到实际情况下模型所需材料附加强化系数有时难以获得的情况,给出了材料附加强化系数的有关近似计算公式.只需要材料基本力学参数便可得到材料附加强化系数,方便工程实际应用.采用8种材料的多轴疲劳寿命数据对提出的新模型进行检验,结果表明所提出的新模型与传统多轴疲劳模型相比预测寿命精度更高.
