An experimental-study of the bending behavior of call hybrid composites

The bending behavior and damage characteristics of CALL (Carbon fiber/epoxy/AL Laminate) hybrid composites have been studied by moire interferometry. The shear strain distribution along the cross-section and the forms of damage of bending beams are obtained. The results show that the magnitude of the shear strain in a carbon/epoxy layer is obviously larger than that in a corresponding aluminum layer and the shear strain distribution of a CFRP layer along the cross-section conforms basically to a parabolic distribution curve, as for the shear strain distribution in aluminum layers along the cross-section. Shear damage, either in the interfaces or in carbon-fiber/epoxy laminae, and tensile failure of CFRP laminae in the tension surface represent, respectively, the damage forms of the longitudinal and transverse bending specimen.

Numerical simulation of mesoscopic mechanical behaviors of gradual multi-fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites

To simulate the deformation and the fracture of gradual multi-fiber-reinforced matrix composites, a numerical simulation method for the mesoscopic mechanical behaviors was developed on the basis of the finite element and the Monte Carlo methods. The results indicate that the strength of a composite increases if the variability of statistical fiber strengths is decreased.

碳纤维复合材料

最近,碳纤维复合材料(CFRP)从大型客机的二次构造材发展到一次构造材,这一重要进展是多年来碳纤维在强度和弹性模量方面不断改进,母体树脂以及复合工艺的进一步完善的基础上出现的。一次构造材要求CFRP具有更高的强度和弹性模量,而且要有优良的耐冲击性。满足了这些要求,表明CFRP已达到一个新的里程碑。简单地评介了碳纤维、母体树脂及其复合工艺、CFRP的应用前景。
