Effect of certain structural parameters of reinforced plastics on strength and stiffness in interlaminar shear

This study is concerned with the manner in which strength and stiffness in interlaminar shear of orthogonally reinforced laminates depend on the mechanical characteristics of their components, on the volume fraction of reinforcing material, on the coefficients of reinforcement distribution in the stacking direction, and on the microporosity of the polymer matrix, as well as other microdiscontinuities in the various structural components of the plastic. For the purpose of assessing the strength and the stiffness in interlaminar shear, with the volume fraction of reinforcing material and the interlaminar microporosity of the composite material varied, approximate formulas have been derived and their practical applicability subsequently confirmed in tests on glass-resin textolite specimens. It is shown that the indicated mechanical properties of a plastic are appreciably affected by these two structural parameters, especially so by its interlaminar microporosity.     

Contact problems for beams and plates with low shear stiffness

The low shear stiffness and strength of unidirectionally reinforced plates and beams predetermines the choice of calculation model in specific problems [4]. The contact problem is considered for a glass-reinforced plastic plate resting on a Winkler foundation; the deformation properties of the plate are described by the equations of an orthotropic material; the investigation is based on generalized applied theories of the Timoshenko and Ambartsumyan types [5–8], which permit the high shear compliance of thin-walled structures to be taken into account.L'vov Polytechnic Institute; Ivan Franko Institute of Petroleum and Gas.

Effect of temperature on the mechanical characteristics of carbon plastics reinforced with metal mesh

The behavior of carbon plastics based on FN resin and FN plus rubber and reinforced with metal mesh is investigated over a broad range of temperatures in tension, compression, and pure bending. The presence of a rubbery component considerably reduces the strength of the plastic while improving its deformation properties.Dnepropetrovsk State University.

Deformation and strength properties of carbon-reinforced plastics in compression

The deformation and strength properties of unidirectionally reinforced carbon plastics have been experimentally investigated for uniaxial compression in the longitudinal and transverse directions and at 45° to the direction of reinforcement in both short-time and long-time tests. On the basis of the deformation properties of the components an attempt is made to describe the creep curve of the plastic in all three loading directions. The Mohr theory is used to predict the compressive strengths in the direction of reinforcement and at right angles to the reinforcement.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.

Elastoplastic deformation of flexible reinforced plates with a reduced shear strength

The problem of the elastoplastic deformation of reinforced plates taking account of their reduced shear strength is formulated in rectangular Cartesian and cylindrical systems of coordinates within the framework of deformation-type constitutive relations based on the first version of Timoshenko's theory. The mechanical behaviour of annular plates with different helical reinforcement structures is investigated and it is shown that the use of classical theory to calculate the elastoplastic bending of relatively thick and, in some cases, relatively thin reinforced plates leads to an unjustified prediction of the compliance of thin-walled composite structures that is too low. The calculations carried out demonstrate the development of considerable shear deformations in the binder of such plates, that have to be taken into account, since it determines the deformation characteristics of the structures studied. The results of calculations obtained using two structural models are compared.     

Effect of building structure on the distribution of random bending strength of multilaminate reinforced plastics

A probabilistic structural model has been constructed for predicting the bending strength distribution in multilaminate reinforced plastics. The number and random strength/elastic properties of the layers or repeating structural elements are parameters of the structure. The random properties of the repeating structural elements are characterized by the scheme and geometry of the unidirectional layers. Two failure conditions have been analyzed: multistep failure caused by successive failure of separate layers and failure caused by the failure of the weakest component. The effect of the number of layers and the instability of the strength and elastic properties on the basic statistical properties of the bending strength was analyzed numerically for typical structures and for both failure conditions. The quantitative significance of the size effect determined by the thickness of the plastic was investigated. The main theoretical results were checked experimentally for unidirectional reinforced carbon plastic under uniaxial bending. The experimental distribution agrees well with the predicted distribution.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 29, No. 3, pp. 336–344, May–June, 1993.     

Deformation and stress distribution in a layered plastic

The stress distribution over the unidirectionally reinforced layers is investigated in relation to the layer thickness ratio and the direction of loading of a two-way reinforced plastic. An expression is obtained for the modulus of elasticity of the layered plastic in an arbitrary direction relative to the directions of reinforcement. The effect of the geometry of the structure of the layered material on its deformation properties is experimentally illustrated.Institute of Polymer Mechanics, Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR, Riga.

Effect of residual stresses on the strength of oriented glass-reinforced plastics

The effect of structural residual stresses on the strength of a glass-reinforced plastic loaded along and across the fibers is investigated. It is established that the residual stresses lead to an increase in the strength of the glass-reinforced plastic across the fibers and to cracking of the polymer matrix in tension along the fibers, but have practically no effect on the combined deformation of the matrix and the fibers in compression.Moscow Ordzhonikidze Aviation Institute.

Testing the interlaminar shear strength of laminated reinforced plastics

An improved method of determining the interlaminar shear strength of reinforced plastics from the results of mechanical bending tests on beams of different lengths is described and the results of an experimental verification of the method on glass-reinforced textolite and longitudinal-transverse-wound (LTW) glass-reinforced plastic are presented.     

The Effect of an Active Diluent on the Properties of Epoxy Resin and Unidirectional Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Plastics

The influence of an active diluent on the properties of an epoxy matrix and carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) is investigated. The physicomechanical properties of an ED-20 epoxy resin modified with diglycidyl ether of diethylene glycol (DEG-1), the adhesion strength at the epoxy matrix–steel wire interface, and the mechanical properties of unidirectional CFRP are determined. The concentration of DEG-1 was varied from 0 to 50 wt.%. The properties of the matrix, the interface, and the composites are compared. It is stated that the matrix strength affects the strength of unidirectional CFRP in bending and not their strength in tension, compression, and shear. The latter fact seems somewhat unexpected. The interlaminar fracture toughness of the composites investigated correlates with the ultimate elongation of the binder. A comparison between the concentration dependences of adhesion strength and the strength of CFRP shows that the matrices utilized provide such a high interfacial strength that the strength of CFRP no longer depends on the adhesion of its constituents.     

A Deformation Model of Monotropic Plastic Foams in Shear Perpendicularly to the Isotropy Plane

Based on an ellipsoidal model for the cellular structure of monotropic plastic foams, their deformational properties in shear perpendicularly to the isotropy plane are predicted. The theoretical results are obtained for the case of pure shear. The deformation energy is calculated by the method of coordinates assuming that the polymer struts of the structure can change both their length and orientation. Numerical values of shear moduli are found for monotropic and isotropic plastic foams, which agree satisfactorily with the experimental data for polyurethane and polyvinylchloride foams available in the literature.     

Effect of tensile stresses on the strength of heat-treated glass fibers

Possibilities of controlling the internal stresses developing during production of glass reinforced plastics were investigated. A favorable effect can be obtained by prestressing the glass fiber reinforcement during molding. Prestressing during heat treatment was found to increase the strength of the fibers. The strengthening is due to a reduction in stress concentration around microcracks as a result of forced elastic and plastic deformation.Mekhanika polimerov, Vol. 1, No. 1, pp. 89–92, 1965

The choice of constitutive relations for an ice cover

The constitutive relations between the internal stresses and the deformation parameters of a sea ice cover, which are used in the AIDJEX elastoplastic model and Hibler's non-linearly viscous model, are investigated. It is shown that the structural instability of the ice cover with respect to plastic shear deformations is a consequence of the associated flow rule used in these models. The use of constitutive relations which violate the associated flow rule, but which are in good agreement with the physical properties of granular media, is suggested. An ice cover damage parameter and an empirical equation which describes the change in this parameter are introduced into the treatment. Energy relations are investigated.
