Mechanical properties improvement of silane addition epoxy/3D orthogonal woven composite material

In this work, the tensile, compressive, and flexural properties of three types of 3D woven composites were studied in three directions. To make an accurate comparison, three 3D woven composites are made to have the same fiber volume content by controlling the weaving parameters of 3D fabric. The results show that the 3D orthogonal woven composite (3DOWC) has better overall mechanical properties than those of the 3D shallow straight-joint woven composite (3DSSWC) and 3D shallow bend-joint woven composite (3DSBWC) in the warp direction, including tension, compression, and flexural strength. Interestingly their mechanical properties in the weft direction are about the same. In the through-thickness direction, however, the tensile and flexural strength of 3DOWC is about the same as 3DSBW, both higher than that of 3DSSWC. The compressive strength, on the other hand, is mainly dependent on the number of weft yarns in the through-thickness direction.

3D Orthogonal Woven

A curved beam model is presented for studying the effect of fiber yarn waviness on the tensile strength of woven composite materials. In the model, a curved beam is assumed to be supported, with an elastic tension or shear foundation in a woven composite material, either with the open-mode type or with the shear mode type. By using the maximum stress criterion in a fiber yarn, the ultimate tensile strength of a woven composite material can be determined together with the failure location. The curved beam modeling procedure is then utilized to predict the ultimate failure stress of the 3D orthogonal woven composite materials when subject to a tensile load in the filler direction. For the open-mode type or shear mode type, a good agreement is found between the measured and predicted failure stress in the filler direction for the 3D orthogonal woven CFRP composite materials. A parametric study shows that the failure stress in the filler direction is remarkably affected by the span length and the amplitude of the filler yarn waviness, and slightly affected by the volume fraction of the z yarn and the Young's modulus of resin matrix. The height and width of the filler yarn do not seem to affect the failure stress in the filler direction.

Compound Tial

In order to improve the mechanical properties of an intermetal1ic compound TiAl, a composite material of TiAl involving a second phase Ti2AIN was prepared by a new combustion reaction method. It is found that Ti2AIN (hexagonal structure) is a rod shape as shown in Fig.1 and its side surface is almost parallel to the basal plane, and this composite material has distinguished strength at elevated temperature and considerable toughness at room temperature comparing with TiAl single phase material. Since the property of the interface of composite materials has strong influences to their mechanical properties, the structure of the interface of intermetallic compound and nitride on the areas corresponding to 2, 3 and 4 as shown in Fig.1 was investigated using high resolution electron microscopy and image processing.

Plastic Phase

Due to the unique properties of polymer composites, these materials are used in many industries, including shipbuilding (hulls of boats, yachts, motorboats, cutters, ship and cooling doors, pontoons and floats, torpedo tubes and missiles, protective shields, antenna masts, radar shields, and antennas, etc.). Modern measurement methods and tools allow to determine the properties of the composite material, already during its design. The article presents the use of the method of acoustic emission and Kolmogorov-Sinai (K-S) metric entropy to determine the mechanical properties of composites. The tested materials were polyester-glass laminate without additives and with a 10% content of polyester-glass waste. The changes taking place in the composite material during loading were visualized using a piezoelectric sensor used in the acoustic emission method. Thanks to the analysis of the RMS parameter (root mean square of the acoustic emission signal), it is possible to determine the range of stresses at which significant changes occur in the material in terms of its use as a construction material. In the K-S entropy method, an important measuring tool is the extensometer, namely the displacement sensor built into it. The results obtained during the static tensile test with the use of an extensometer allow them to be used to calculate the K-S metric entropy. Many materials, including composite materials, do not have a yield point. In principle, there are no methods for determining the transition of a material from elastic to plastic phase. The authors showed that, with the use of a modern testing machine and very high-quality instrumentation to record measurement data using the Kolmogorov-Sinai (K-S) metric entropy method and the acoustic emission (AE) method, it is possible to determine the material transition from elastic to plastic phase. Determining the yield strength of composite materials is extremely important information when designing a structure.

Lens Distortion

An improved accurate speckle projection method is used for study the mechanical properties of the composite material film in the paper. A system for deformation measurement is developed with the telecentric lenses, in which such conventional lens’ disadvantages such as lens distortion and perspective error will be diminished. Experiments are performed to validate the availability and reliability of the calibration method. The system can also be used to measure the dynamic deformation and then results are also given.
