Hygrothermal Stress

The effectiveness of load transfer in the CFRP-adhesive-concrete system highly relies on the integrity of the interfacial bond between adhesive layer and concrete. In the present paper, the effects of water immersion on the mode I fracture energy of the adhesion between CFRP adhesive and concrete were investigated experimentally and numerically. Four-point bending test was conducted to measure the mode I fracture energy of the interfacial layer between adhesive and concrete. The moisture content distribution and the hygrothermal stress were determined by using the finite element method (FEM). The mode I fracture energy was found decreasing with increasing immersion time. The difference between the mode I fracture energy at 2 weeks and 4 weeks is rare. The failure mode of the four-point bending test specimen shifts from concrete failure to interfacial debonding. The moisture content at the adhesive/concrete interface reaches equilibrium after 2 weeks of water immersion. The hygrothermal stress between adhesive and concrete is smaller than the tensile strength of concrete. Deterioration of the physical bond leads to the degradation of bonding strength. The reduction of the mode I fracture energy is more severe than that of the mode II fracture energy.

Mechanism Of Failure

In order to examine mode-I & II type fracture behavior of ceramic joints, the interface element was proposed as a simple model which represents the mechanism of failure in an explicit manner. It was applied to the analyses of four point bending test and asymmetrical four point bending test for SiC/SiC composite specimen joined by ARCJoinTTM. By using a new type interface potential, which is a coupled function of opening and shear deformations, both the bending and asymmetrical bending tests were simulated. From comparison with experiments, surface energy at the interface between the joint and composite was estimated to be about 30 N/m regardless of the fracture mode. Also, from the comparison between the predicted strength and the experiments for the tensile test of lap joint of SiC/SiC composites, it was found that the proposed method was considered to have a great potential as a tool to study the failure problems whose fracture type was a mixture of mode-I & II.

Abstract A comparative study of elastic properties and mode I fracture energy has been presented between conventional carbon fibre (CF)/epoxy and advanced carbon nanotube (CNT)/epoxy laminated composite materials. The volume fraction of CNT fibres has been considered as 15%, 30%, and 60% whereas; the volume fraction of CF has been kept constant at 60%. Three stacking sequences of the laminates viz.[0/0/0/0], [0/90/0/90] and [0/30/–30/90] have been considered in the present analysis. Periodic microstructure model has been used to calculate the elastic properties of the laminated composites. It has been observed analytically that the addition of only 15% CNT in epoxy will give almost the same value of longitudinal Young’s modulus as compared to the addition of 60% CF in epoxy. Finite element (FE) analysis of double cantilever beam specimens made from laminated composite has also been performed. It has been observed from FE analysis that the addition of 15% CNT in epoxy will also give almost the same value of mode I fracture energy as compared to the addition of 60% CF in epoxy. The value of mode I fracture energy for [0/0/0/0] laminated composite is two times higher than the other two types of laminated composites.

In the interest of reducing the weight and also cost of blade skins, various automatic preform manufacturing processes were developed including tape laying, filament winding and braiding. Among them, the circular braiding process was found to be an efficient method in producing seamless preforms on mandrels with various geometries. In this regard, an attempt was made to produce a carbon fiber reinforced composite with the shape of NACA 23018 airfoil using a circular braiding machine. Thus, suitable wooden mandrels were manufactured using NACA 23018 airfoil coordinates, which were obtained by assuming the perimeter of 20 cm. Furthermore, both biaxially and triaxially braided preforms were produced and subsequently impregnated with epoxy resin through an appropriate fabrication method. To assess their performance, four-point bending test was carried out on samples. Ultimately, the elastic response of braided composite airfoils was predicted using a meso-scale finite element modeling and was validated with experimental results.

Initial Cracks

Through the four-point bending test of lath-shaped heat treated AZ31 magnesium alloy, the bending properties and damage characteristics were explored. The results show that the optimal bending strength of the magnesium alloy were 355.1MPa and 259.2MPa for extruded and cast samples, respectively, after corresponding heat treatment with 350°C, 90min and 400°C, 30min. The initial cracks both occurred at the loading point after applied load exceeded the yield limit of AZ31 magnesium alloy. Surface bump, cracks and other damage morphology accompanied by a large number of twinning organizations were found on the surface of the samples.
