Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid composite laminates consisting of layers of metal foils bonded together with fiber-reinforced resin show great promise as a fatigue-resistant material. The hybrid titanium composite laminate (HTCL) incorporates the mechanical advantages of existing hybrid composite laminates such as ARALL and GLARE while extending their applications to elevated temperatures. Titanium layers are bonded by prepreg layers of high-temperature resin reinforced with carbon fibers. The constituent materials used in this study are a metastable ß titanium alloy (Ti-15-3), a high-temperature polyimide (LARCTM-IAX), and an intermediate modulus carbon fiber (IM7). This study includes quasi-static and fatigue testing of HTCL materials at room temperature and 177°C (350°F). Experimental stress-strain response of HTCL laminates are compared with predicted results by a laminate analysis code called AGLPLY. A stress-based fatigue study was performed to determine the fatigue properties of HTCL laminates. The roles of residual stress in the mechanical behavior and fatigue properties of HTCL are addressed. The development of damage in HTCL specimens during fatigue is shown to include titanium ply cracking, interfacial debonding, and PMC layer failure. The influence of the fatigue properties of titanium layers on the fatigue of HTCL is discussed. The performance of HTCL laminates in fatigue is shown superior to that of the monolithic titanium alloy for room-temperature and elevated-temperature conditions.

This book was released on 2018-07-10 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, the mechanical response of hybrid titanium composite laminates (HTCL) was evaluated at room and elevated temperatures. Also, the use of an elastic-plastic laminate analysis program for predicting the tensile response from constituent properties was verified. The improvement in mechanical properties achieved by the laminates was assessed by comparing the results of static strength and constant amplitude fatigue tests to those for monolithic titanium sheet. Two HTCL were fabricated with different fiber volume fractions, resin layer thicknesses, and resins. One panel was thicker and was more poorly bonded in comparison to other. Consequently, the former had a lower tensile strength, while fewer cracks grew in this panel and at a slower rate. Both panels showed an improvement in fatigue life of almost two orders of magnitude. The model predictions were also in good agreement with the experimental results for both HTCL panels. Miller, J. L. and Progar, D. J. and Johnson, W. S. and St.clair, T. L.
