X-ray tomography data of compression tested unidirectional fibre composites with different off-axis angles.

ABSTRACT: This data article contains lab-based micro-computed tomography (?CT) data of unidirectional (UD) non-crimp fabric (NCF) carbon fibre reinforced composite specimens that have been deformed by compression. The specimens contain UD fibres with off-axis angles of 0°, 5°, 10°, 15° and 20° and the compression testing induces kink-band formation. This data formed the basis for the analysis of the influence of in-plane shear on kink-plane orientation as reported in Wilhelmsson et al. (Wilhelmsson et al., 2019).

Experimental Method for Tensile Testing of Unidirectional Carbon Fibre Composites Using Improved Specimen Type and Data Analysis.

Project description:This paper presents an experimental method for tensile testing of unidirectional carbon fibre composites. It uses a novel combination of a new specimen geometry, protective layer, and a robust data analysis method. The experiments were designed to test and analyze unprotected (with conventional end-tabs) and protected (with continuous end-tabs) carbon fibre composite specimens with three different specimen geometries (straight-sided, butterfly, and X-butterfly). Initial stiffness and strain to failure were determined from second-order polynomial fitted stress-strain curves. A good agreement between back-calculated and measured stress-strain curves is found, on both composite and fibre level. For unprotected carbon composites, the effect of changing specimen geometry from straight-sided to X-butterfly was an increase in strain to failure from 1.31 to 1.44%. The effect of protection on X-butterfly specimens was an increase in strain to failure from 1.44 to 1.53%. For protected X-butterfly specimens, the combined effect of geometry and protection led to a significant improvement in strain to failure of 17% compared to unprotected straight-sided specimens. The observed increasing trend in the measured strain to failure, by changing specimen geometry and protection, suggests that the actual strain to failure of unidirectional carbon composites is getting closer to be realized.

Enhanced Mechanical Properties of Multiscale Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Unidirectional Composites with Different Dimensional Carbon Nanofillers.

Project description:Ammonia modified graphene-carbon nanotubes/continuous carbon fiber reinforced epoxy unidirectional multiscale composites (AMGNS-MWCNT/CFEP) were prepared by adding ammonia modified graphene and carbon nanotubes to an epoxy matrix to reduce agglomeration of carbon nanofillers in the epoxy matrix and improve composites properties. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and universal testing machines were used to characterize the properties of carbon nanofillers, AMGNS-MWCNT/epoxy nanocomposites, and AMGNS-MWCNT/CFEP unidirectional composites. When the AMGNS-MWCNT content was 1.0 wt%, flexural strength, the flexural modulus and interlaminar shear strength of AMGNS-MWCNT/CFEP unidirectional composites reached the maximum value of 1520.3 MPa, 138.88 GPa, and 87.80 MPa, respectively, which were 12.5%, 9.42%, and 10.1% higher than that of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy unidirectional composites (CFEP). The synergistic mechanism of two carbon nanofillers in the matrix is discussed.

X-ray computed tomography images and network data of sands under compression.

Project description:Ottawa sand and Angular sand consist of particles with distinct shapes. The x-ray computed tomography (XCT) image stacks of their in-situ confined compressive testings are provided in this paper. For each image stack, a contact network, a thermal network and a network feature - edge betweenness centrality - of each edge in the networks are also provided. The readers can use the image data to construct digital sands with applications of (1) extracting microstructural parameters such as particle size, particle shape, coordination number and more network features; (2) analysing mechanical behaviour and transport processes such as fluid flow, heat transfer and electrical conduction using either traditional simulation tools such as finite element method and discrete element method or newly network models which could be built based on the network files available here.

Laccase-Enzyme Treated Flax Fibre for Use in Natural Fibre Epoxy Composites.

Project description:Natural fibres have a high potential as reinforcement of polymer matrices, as they combine a high specific strength and modulus with sustainable production and reasonable prices. Modifying the fibre surface is a common method to increase the adhesion and thereby enhance the mechanical properties of composites. In this study, a novel sustainable surface treatment is presented: the fungal enzyme laccase was utilised with the aim of covalently binding the coupling agent dopamine to flax fibre surfaces. The goal is to improve the interfacial strength towards an epoxy matrix. SEM and AFM micrographs showed that the modification changes the surface morphology, indicating a deposition of dopamine on the surface. Fibre tensile tests, which were performed to check whether the fibre structure was damaged during the treatment, showed that no decrease in tensile strength or modulus occurred. Single fibre pullout tests showed a 30% increase in interfacial shear strength (IFSS) due to the laccase-mediated bonding of the coupling agent dopamine. These results demonstrate that a laccase + dopamine treatment modifies flax fibres sustainably and increases the interfacial strength towards epoxy.

Complementary time-lapse datasets of x-ray computed tomography and real-time strain mapping for an <i>ex-situ</i> study of non-crimp glass fibre composites under fatigue loading.

Project description:Data published in this paper corresponds to a time-lapse ex-situ experiment aimed at analyzing the tension-tension fatigue damage in non-crimp glass-epoxy composites by multi-scale x-ray computed tomography (XCT) of the damage features and their timeline. This is then correlated with the strain fields obtained through digital image correlation (DIC). The XCT - DIC datasets by is acquired by interrupting mechanical fatigue tests at three time-steps, after the material has undergone 0 cycles, 70,000 cycles, 80,000 cycles, and 120,000 cycles. This is one of the first multi-modally correlated datasets available for these types of non-crimp glass fibre composites, which explore the structure-property relationship in a time-dependent behavior. This dataset can be used to explore glass-fibre composites microstructure under a progressive damage scheme and can be used to test and train a plethora of image processing and analysis techniques. This dataset can also be used as an attempt to model the fatigue behavior of quasi-unidirectional non-crimp fibre composites by image-based simulations.

A multimodal data-set of a unidirectional glass fibre reinforced polymer composite.

Project description:A unidirectional (UD) glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite was scanned at varying resolutions in the micro-scale with several imaging modalities. All six scans capture the same region of the sample, containing well-aligned fibres inside a UD load-carrying bundle. Two scans of the cross-sectional surface of the bundle were acquired at a high resolution, by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OM), and four volumetric scans were acquired through X-ray computed tomography (CT) at different resolutions. Individual fibres can be resolved from these scans to investigate the micro-structure of the UD bundle. The data is hosted at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1195879 and it was used in Emerson et al. (2018) [1] to demonstrate that precise and representative characterisations of fibre geometry are possible with relatively low X-ray CT resolutions if the analysis method is robust to image quality.

Project description:This data in brief article describes a dataset used for an X-ray computer tomography aided engineering process consisting of X-ray computer tomography data and finite element models of non-crimp fabric glass fibre reinforced composites. Additional scanning electron microscope images are provided for the validation of the fibre volume fraction. The specimens consist of 4 layers of unidirectional bundles each supported by off-axis backing bundles with an average orientation on ±80° The finite element models, which were created solely on the image data, simulate the tensile stiffness of the samples. The data can be used as a benchmark dataset to apply different segmentation algorithms on the X-ray computer tomography data. It can be further used to run the models using different finite element solvers.

Bright, high-repetition-rate water window soft X-ray source enabled by nonlinear pulse self-compression in an antiresonant hollow-core fibre.

Project description:Bright, coherent soft X-ray radiation is essential to a variety of applications in fundamental research and life sciences. To date, a high photon flux in this spectral region can only be delivered by synchrotrons, free-electron lasers or high-order harmonic generation sources, which are driven by kHz-class repetition rate lasers with very high peak powers. Here, we establish a novel route toward powerful and easy-to-use SXR sources by presenting a compact experiment in which nonlinear pulse self-compression to the few-cycle regime is combined with phase-matched high-order harmonic generation in a single, helium-filled antiresonant hollow-core fibre. This enables the first 100 kHz-class repetition rate, table-top soft X-ray source that delivers an application-relevant flux of 2.8 × 106 photon s-1 eV-1 around 300 eV. The fibre integration of temporal pulse self-compression (leading to the formation of the necessary strong-field waveforms) and pressure-controlled phase matching will allow compact, high-repetition-rate laser technology, including commercially available systems, to drive simple and cost-effective, coherent high-flux soft X-ray sources.

Unidirectional All-Cellulose Composites from Flax via Controlled Impregnation with Ionic Liquid.

Project description:Mechanically strong all-cellulose composites are very attractive in the terms of fully bio-based and bio-degradable materials. Unidirectional flax-based all-cellulose composites are prepared via facile room-temperature impregnation with an ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium acetate. To determine the optimal processing conditions, the kinetics of flax dissolution in this solvent is first studied using optical microscopy. Composite morphology, crystallinity, density, the volume fraction of cellulose II and tensile properties are investigated, indicating that flax dissolution should be within certain limits. On the one hand, the amount of cellulose II formed through dissolution and coagulation should be high enough to "fuse" flax fibers, resulting in a density increase. On the other hand, only the surface layer of the fibers should be dissolved to maintain the strength provided by the inner secondary layer and avoid a detrimental decrease in crystallinity. The highest Young's modulus and strength, 10.1 GPa and 151.3 MPa, respectively, are obtained with a crystallinity of 43% and 20 vol% of cellulose II.

Ex-situ X-ray computed tomography data for a non-crimp fabric based glass fibre composite under fatigue loading.

Project description:The data published with this article are high resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) data obtained during an ex-situ fatigue test of a coupon test specimen made from a non-crimp fabric based glass fibre composite similar to those used for wind turbine blades. The fatigue test was interrupted four times for X-ray CT examination during the fatigue life of the considered specimen. All the X-ray CT experiments were performed in the region where unidirectional fibre fractures first became visible, and thereby include the damage progression in 3D in this specific region during fatigue loading of the specimen.
