Mode II delamination toughness of z-pinned laminates
Mode II delamination toughness of z-pin reinforced composite laminates is investigated using finite element (FE) method. The z-pin pullout process is simulated by the deformation and breakage of non-linear springs. A critical shear stress criterion based on linear elastic fracture mechanics is used to simulate crack growth in an end-notched-flexure (ENF) beam made of z-pinned laminates. The mod...
متن کاملDelamination Analysis of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Laminates: Evaluation of a Special Step Drill
Drilling of carbon fibre/epoxy laminates is usually carried out using standard drills. However, it is necessary to adapt the processes and/or tooling as the risk of delamination, or other damages, is high. These problems can affect mechanical properties of produced parts, therefore, lower reliability. Production of higher quality holes is a challenge to everyone related with composites industry...
متن کاملExperimental study on effect of loading rate on mode I delamination of z-pin reinforced laminates
This paper presents an experimental investigation on mode I delamination of z-pinned double-cantilever-beams (DCB) and associate z-pin bridging mechanisms. Tests were performed with three types of samples: big-pin with an areal density of 2%, small-pin with an areal density of 2% and small-pin with an areal density of 0.5%. The loading rates for each type of samples were set at 1 mm/min and 100...
متن کاملA new test methodology based on structural resonance for mode I fatigue delamination growth in an unidirectional composite
A specific device has been set up to test by vibration resonance the mode I fatigue delamination growth onset of composite laminates. This test system, based on the DCB test specimen, is a mass-spring-specimen dynamic system designed to resonate. The defined operating conditions allow performing delamination propagation tests under imposed load and stopping the test under reproducible condition...
متن کاملComprehensively simulating the mixed-mode progressive delamination in composite laminates
Gao, Zhenyuan MSAA, Purdue University, May 2015. Comprehensively Simulating the Mixed-Mode Progressive Delamination in Composite Laminates. Major Professor: Wenbin Yu. Delamination, or interlaminar debonding, is a commonly observed failure mechanism in composite laminates. It is of great significance to comprehensively simulate the mixed-mode progressive delamination in composite structures bec...
