Download or read book Fatigue Behavior and Damage Accumulation of Fiber Reinforced Plastic Laminates and Joints written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspects of fatigue damage in various fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) laminates are discussed. Different S-N curves (stress level versus number of cycles to failure) for composite fatigue modeling are presented. Cumulative damage theories applicable to composite materials are investigated. Results of an experimental program in constant and random amplitude fatigue of FRP laminates and joints are presented. Constant amplitude fatigue test results of the FRP laminates indicate a fairly good fit to the traditional power law S-N curve model for cross-ply laminates. In contrast, constant amplitude fatigue tests of angle-ply laminates and bonded, bolted, and bonded bolted joints exhibit significantly less favorable fit to the power law model. Random amplitude fatigue tests show an inconsistent trend as compared to predictions made using Rayleigh approximation. Fatigue life prediction of the laminate specimens tend to be non-conservative for low RMS levels and conservative for high RMS values. The opposite behavior is observed for the joint specimens, where conservative fatigue life estimates are obtained for low RMS levels and non-conservative estimates for high RMS levels.

Book excerpt: The main objective of this program during the final reporting period was to investigate the fatigue behavior of a (02/90/ + or - 45)s AS/3501-5A Gr/ Ep laminate through proof testing. The primary emphasis was on the delineation of the effect of proof test on the residual strength and life, the establishment of strength-life relations, and the identification of sources of scatter in strength and life. The test program consisted of static tests, tension-tension fatigue tests preceded by proof tests, and examinations of failure characteristics. Major findings can be summarized as follows: (1) Proof tests have little effect on the residual strength and life; (2) A relation exists between strength and life such that a statically stronger specimen has a longer life; (3) A minimum life can be assured by a proof test; (4) A higher modulus is an indication of a higher strength and longer life; (5) What distinguishes a typical static failure mode from a typical fatigue failure mode is the lack of delamination in the former; (6) At a moderate fatigue stress, the failure mode changes from a static failure mode to a typical fatigue failure mode around 20, 000 cycles; and (7) A delamination surface consists of shiny and dull areas. The shiny area has bare fibers whereas the dull area only has fiber traces in the epoxy.
Download or read book Experimental Investigation of Fatigue Behavior of Curved Composite Laminates written by Ezgi Ustun and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aerospace and wind turbine industries, high demand for light weight structures with high strength extend the use of composite laminates in a wide variety of geometries as load carrying elements. However, more complex geometries as curved composite laminates experience delamination and matrix cracking due to high interlaminar stresses induced in the curved region. Moreover, under cyclic loading failure on these components initiates under lower stress states so that fatigue behavior of curved composite laminates are critical. This thesis discusses the experimental investigation of fatigue behavior of curved composite laminates under bending moment. Bending moment is obtained at the curved region by applying axial load from both tips of the curved composite laminates. A special loading fixture is designed in order to apply axial load to curved specimens in universal testing machine. Two different lay-up configurations are investigated; [0]15s unidirectional as fiber dominated and [03/903/03/903/03]s cross-plied laminates as matrix dominated. Static loading experiments are conducted in order to obtain average ultimate strength of materials to use in fatigue loading experiments and compare the damage pattern with the fatigue failure. The load-displacement curves are recorded for both static and fatigue loading cases. The failure is observed using high speed camera under static loading. DSLR camera images and micrographs are taken for both static and fatigue experiments. Under static loading, two load drop is observed for [0] UD laminates until failure. Under fatigue loading, [0] UD laminates experience one sharp load drop, then stiffness degrades gradually until failure. The failure pattern of [0] UD laminates under static and fatigue loading is completely different. Cross-plied laminates show similar behavior on load-displacement curves and failure mechanisms under static and fatigue loading. Under static and fatigue loading, unexpected failure mechanisms are observed for cross-plied laminates which are found to be sensitive to the manufacturing defects.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is Vol. I of a 2-part final report on the activities which were conducted under Contract No. F33615-81-3225. The general objective of this program was to investigate the precise nature of the damage events caused by cyclic (fatigue) loading of composite laminates that are directly related to fracture of those laminates, to develop a conceptual understanding of how those damage events reduce the residual strength of the laminates, and to determine how the collective damage condition following long-term cyclic loading precipitates the final fracture event. The program was conducted in four phases: (1) the development of fatigue damage during long-term cyclic loading was investigated in such a way that the damage events which occur quite late in the fatigue life of the material, just prior to fracture, were identified and characterized; (2) the special contribution and nature of fiber fracture was investigated; (3) the nature of the collective damage condition which precipitates the fracture event under long-term fatigue loading was investigated; (4) a philosophy of fracture in composite laminates following severe damage development due to cyclic loading was developed. A wide variety of destructive and nondestructive experimental evaluation schemes were used in the program, and several analytical efforts were conducted to support the experimental activities.
Download or read book Fatigue Prediction of Lightweight Thermoplastic Fiber Metal Laminates written by H. Kang and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lightweight thermoplastic-based fiber-metal laminates were developed based on a self-reinforced polypropylene and a glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene composite material with two sheets of aluminum alloy 2024-T3. The laminates were manufactured using a fast one step cold press manufacturing procedure. The mechanical behavior of the laminates was then investigated under tensile and fatigue loading conditions. The tensile properties of the plain aluminum, the composite materials, and the thermoplastic fiber-metal laminates (TFML) were investigated at quasi-static rates of loading. The fatigue tests were also conducted under load control based on the ASTM E 466 standard procedure. Various loading cycles were employed for the fatigue tests in order to minimize the possibility of heat generation on the composite materials. Three different load levels were applied for the fatigue specimens with zero to max loading. Results have shown that the glass fiber-reinforced polypropylene hybrid systems exhibited higher fatigue strength than the self-reinforced polypropylene based fiber-metal laminates. Following this, a simple prediction method for fatigue life of the TFMLs has been introduced. It is clearly indicated that the stress ranges calculated using the proposed method for the monolithic AL2024-T3 and the TFMLs are very similar at the same cycles to failure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is now a significant body of literature that provides a fairly detailed account of the types of damage that commonly develop during the tensile and compressive fatigue loading of high-modulus fibrous composite laminates. Although this body of information is by no means complete, many detailed descriptions of microevents that accompany such loadings are available, and some models have been developed, including successful attempts to represent and predict the stiffness changes which accompany certain types of damage. However, at least two basic and essential questions concerning such fatigue response remain unanswered. First, exactly how does damage reduce laminate strength during long-term fatigue loading? And, second, how does damage (during a long-term fatigue test) combine to cause the fracture event which defines the life of a laminate? The present paper addresses these two questions. Laminates of several types and materials were loaded in cyclic tension or compression at load levels which corresponded to long times to failure. At these "high cycle" levels, the reduction in residual strength was maximized. The corresponding damage states were monitored using an array of nondestructive and destructive techniques. Special attention was given to the damage states that developed just prior to failure. Various concepts and models were applied to the interpretation of the data. Damage development in tension and compression was contrasted.
