Fatigue behavior of 3-D orthogonal woven composite with silane modification

Tension–tension fatigue behavior of layer-to-layer 3-D angle- interlock woven composites

The tension–tension fatigue behavior of (the layer-to-layer) three-dimensional angle-interlock woven composite (3DAWC) was investigated using the acoustic emission (AE) technique, examination of damaged regions via light microscopy and micro-CT, and finite element analysis (FEA). AE events occurred during the entire fatigue process, and damage modes were determined based on cumulative fatigue d...

Damage Development Analysis Based on Strain Energy Release Rate for 3-d Woven Composite

Methods of damage development analyses for various types of composite materials such as 3-D woven composite have not been established sufficiently because it is quite difficult to simulate the failure propagation. A FEM simulation of failure process of 3-D composite was executed by Mibayashi including the thermal residual stresses after the curing process, and the deformations and stresses calc...

Investigation of fatigue behavior of polyester filament woven fabrics under cyclic loading

Shock loading response of sandwich panels with 3-D woven E-glass composite skins and stitched foam core

Sandwich composite are used in numerous structural applications, with demonstrated weight savings over conventional metals and solid composite materials. The increasing use of sandwich composites in defense structures, particularly those which may be exposed to shock loading, demands for a thorough understanding of their response to suc highly transient loadings. In order to fully utilize their...
