Experimental data on fracture of open-hole composite laminates subjected to tension loading.

ABSTRACT: In this data article, we present detailed failure process of big open-hole carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite laminates subjected to tension loading, which are tested by digital image correlation (DIC) system and electrical strain gauge system. In experiments, three different lay-ups are applied tension loading until specimens' failure. Several strain gages are distributed in different locations of specimens to measure strains during loading, at the same time, DIC is adopted to obtain field strains of specimens. The maximum force and failure modes of different lay-ups composite laminates are tested. The failure process is displayed by strain field images, and final failure images are also supplied in this article. Detailed numerical analysis are reported in [1].

Load-displacement experimental data from axial tensile loading of CFRP-SPCC hybrid laminates.

Project description:The current paper shows a data set of load-displacement output from axial tensile loading of CFRP-SPCC hybrid laminates. The specimen geometries are cut based on standard procedure from ASTM D-3039. At least 3 positions in each specimen, we measured its width and thickness. Data of the load and displacement were repeated at least 3 samples in each combination of hybrid laminates. Tensile test was conducted with a 1 mm/min of loading rate. The data were recorded from unloading until failure of specimens. The data gives information about the highest load and the behavior of load-displacement in axial tensile loading. By using width and thickness, normalized data can be obtained, the load can be calculated into stress (MPa) unit. The data are useful for researchers and structural engineers that deals with CFRP, SPCC, and hybrid CFRP-SPCC laminates.

Modelling of stiffness degradation due to cracking in laminates subjected to multi-axial loading.

Project description:The paper presents an analytical approach to predicting the effect of intra- and interlaminar cracking on residual stiffness properties of the laminate, which can be used in the post-initial failure analysis, taking full account of damage mode interaction. The approach is based on a two-dimensional shear lag stress analysis and the equivalent constraint model of the laminate with multiple damaged plies. The application of the approach to predicting degraded stiffness properties of multidirectional laminates under multi-axial loading is demonstrated on cross-ply glass/epoxy and carbon/epoxy laminates with transverse and longitudinal matrix cracks and crack-induced transverse and longitudinal delaminations. This article is part of the themed issue 'Multiscale modelling of the structural integrity of composite materials'.

Green's functions for unsymmetric composite laminates with inclusions.

Project description:It is known that the stretching and bending deformations will be coupled together for the unsymmetric composite laminates under in-plane force and/or out-of-plane bending moment. Although Green's functions for unsymmetric composite laminates with elliptical elastic inclusions have been obtained by using Stroh-like formalism around 10 years ago, due to the ignoring of inconsistent rigid body movements of matrix and inclusion, the existing solution may lead to displacement discontinuity across the interface between matrix and inclusion. Due to the multi-valued characteristics of complex logarithmic functions appeared in Green's functions, special attention should be made on the proper selection of branch cuts of mapped variables. To solve these problems, in this study, the existing Green's functions are corrected and a simple way to correctly evaluate the mapped complex variable logarithmic functions is suggested. Moreover, to apply the obtained solutions to boundary element method, we also derive the explicit closed-form solution for Green's function of deflection. Since the continuity conditions along the interface have been satisfied in Green's functions, no meshes are required along the interface, which will save a lot of computational time and the results are much more accurate than any other numerical methods.

Tensile Testing of Aged Flexible Unidirectional Composite Laminates for Body Armor.

Project description:Flexible Unidirectional (UD) composite laminates are commonly being used for ballistic-resistant body armor. These laminates comprise UD layers, each constructed by laminating thin layers of high-performance fibers held in place using very low modulus binder resins, with the fibers in each layer oriented parallel to each other. As these materials are used in body armor, it is important to investigate their long-term reliability, particularly with regards to exposure to temperature and humidity as these are known causes of degradation in other commonly used body armor materials. This work investigates the tensile behavior of a poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide), or PPTA flexible UD laminate aged for up to 150 d at accelerated conditions of 70 °C and 76 % relative humidity (RH). Tests were performed at three different crosshead displacement rates and three different gauge lengths. The effect of ageing on the mechanical properties of the material resulted in less than 10 % degradation in tensile strength, with a more significant reduction in longer specimens when tested at slower rates.

Cutting Procedures, Tensile Testing, and Ageing of Flexible Unidirectional Composite Laminates.

Project description:Many body armor designs incorporate unidirectional (UD) laminates. UD laminates are constructed of thin (<0.05 mm) layers of high-performance yarns, where the yarns in each layer are oriented parallel to each other and held in place using binder resins and thin polymer films. The armor is constructed by stacking the unidirectional layers in different orientations. To date, only very preliminary work has been performed to characterize the ageing of the binder resins used in unidirectional laminates and the effects on their performance. For example, during the development of the conditioning protocol used in the National Institute of Justice Standard-0101.06, UD laminates showed visual signs of delamination and reductions in V50, which is the velocity at which half of the projectiles are expected to perforate the armor, after ageing. A better understanding of the material property changes in UD laminates is necessary to comprehend the long-term performance of armors constructed from these materials. There are no current standards recommended for mechanically interrogating unidirectional (UD) laminate materials. This study explores methods and best practices for accurately testing the mechanical properties of these materials and proposes a new test methodology for these materials. Best practices for ageing these materials are also described.

Stress-strain and microscopy data for fire-damaged aluminum alloy 6061 subjected to multiaxial loading.

Project description:Stress/strain data from mechanical testing of samples obtained from "as received" and fire damaged (400 °C and 500 °C) aluminum alloy 6061 plates is reported. Mechanical load information was obtained from load cells in the mechanical testing system while strain data was obtained from a digital imaging correlation system. For each plate condition (as received, 400 °C, 500 °C), four samples were machined along and across the rolling direction and subjected to four mechanical tests (tension, torsion, two combined tension/torsion tests) for a total of 24 unique combinations of condition, machining direction and loading path. Data from mechanical testing and digital imaging correlation systems was interpolated to generate stress/strain curves. Included data repository allows regeneration of stress/strain curves presented herein. Microscopy samples were obtained both from undeformed plates and deformed samples. Subsequent to polishing, EBSD was carried out and obtained microstructure and pole figures are reported.

Fracture toughness of porous materials - Experimental methods and data.

Project description:We provide numerical experimental data and detailed information about the sample preparation and the experimental methods, used by different research groups for measuring the fracture toughness of porous materials. These data are supplemental information to the publication "A Geometric Model for the Fracture Toughness of Porous Materials," [1], which is based on experimental data of ceramic and polymer materials. For the sake of completeness, we provide here also data from fracturing metallic foams. The corresponding theoretical curves, which are based on the model described in the reference, are given additionally in the diagrams. The utilized publications are not a comprehensive compilation of all corresponding measurements concerning porous materials, but should be seen as a typical set of respective experiments with the focus on the fracture toughness of porous materials. The discussion and interpretation are provided in the above-mentioned reference.
