Progressive Damage Model

According to the progressive damage analysis based numerical characteristic length scheme presented by Zhang, a progressive damage model established by Liu is adopted here to calculate characteristic lengths for mechanical composite joints. Four groups of specimens with different lay-ups and geometries were designed and fabricated and static tensile experiments were carried out to verify the suitability of the numerical characteristic length model. Good agreements between the predicted ultimate failure loads of the specimens and experimental outcomes are obtained. In addition, the characteristic lengths calculated from the experimental ultimate failure loads are in accordance with that obtained from numerical ultimate failure loads, which give evidence of the feasibility and suitability of the numerical characteristic length model.

Advanced polymeric composites are playing a major role in designing high-performance and lightweight vertical lift structures. However, uncertain residual strength and remaining useful life of the composite rotor and airframe structures due to complexity of failure mechanisms and susceptibility to manufacturing irregularities, which may be precursors to structural damage, impose risks that cannot be mitigated exclusively by time-consuming and costly experimental iterations. Validated analysis techniques accelerating design, certification, and qualification of composite structures are needed. Our team has been taking essential steps toward improving confidence in material qualification for laminated composites. The first step started with our reduced lamina test methods, short-beam shear, and small-plate twist based on digital image correlation measuring as a subset the standard material properties and, in addition, key properties that cannot be currently measured using any standard test methods. The lamina properties provide essential material input data for laminate analysis. The laminate analysis was the second step increasing confidence in material qualification. A known weakness of the existing progressive damage analysis methods is the lack of effective techniques to predict ultimate failure. The newly developed methodology relies on explicit finite element modeling and eliminates convergence issues in the ply-level progressive damage analysis methods due to severe nonlinear discontinuities after propagation of damage beyond detectable size. This work shows results of applying this methodology to nanosilica-toughened IM7/PMT-F3GHT open-hole tension strength/fatigue, open-hole compression strength/fatigue, and bearing strength multidirectional laminate configurations. The ability to predict progression of damage from initiation to ultimate strength and fatigue for advanced material systems including IM7/PMT-F3GHT carbon/epoxy reinforced by nanosilica has been demonstrated for the first time.

The hybrid CMC and superalloy bolted joints have exhibited great potential to be used as thermostructural components of reusable space transportation systems, given the respective strengths of these two materials. In the high temperature excursion of the hybrid joints with the aircrafts and space vehicles, the substantial difference in thermal expansion coefficients of CMC and superalloy materials will induce complex superposition of initial assembly stress, thermal stress, and tensile stress around fastening area, which might lead to unknown failure behavior of joint structure. To address this concern, a finite element model embedded with progressive damage analysis was established to simulate the thermostructural behavior and high-temperature tensile performance of single-lap, single-bolt C/SiC composite and superalloy joint, by using the ABAQUS software. It was found that the initial stiffness of the CMC/superalloy hybrid bolted joints decreases with the rise of applied temperature under all bolt-hole clearance levels. However, the load-bearing capacity varies significantly with the initial clearance level and exposed temperature for the studied joint. The thermal expansion mismatch generated between the CMC and superalloy materials led to significant changes in the assembly preload and bolt-hole clearance as the high-temperature load is applied to the joint. The evolution in the thermostructural behavior upon temperature was then correlated with the variations in stiffness and failure load of the joints. The provided new findings are valuable for structural design and practical application of the hybrid CMC/superalloy bolted joints at high temperatures in next-generation aircrafts.
