Feasibility analysis of inter-laminar toughening for improving delamination resistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
This letter discusses the effect of bonding energy on the delamination resistance of laminate composites using a ductile interleaf. The mechanism and methods for interleaf toughening are reviewed and the improvement in delamination resistance discussed. The bonding energy between the ductile interleaf polymer and the fibers as well as between the ductile interleaf polymer and the brittle matrix polymer is shown to be a limiting factor in the interleaf toughening of epoxy based laminates. A dual bonding approach, that is, melt bonding and diffusion bonding, is evaluated as a means to increase the bonding energy between the interleaf and laminate components. 2013 Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME).

Investigation of Mode I Delamination Resistance in Inter-ply and Intra-ply Hybrid Composites Reinforced with Basalt/Nylon Woven Fabrics
Due to their sensitivity to impact-induced delamination, woven fabric reinforced polymer composites have limited practical applications. Hybridization of polymer composites has been proposed as a solution to this problem. In this study, the effects of fiber reinforcement type, hybridization method, plies stacking sequence and loading rate on mode I delamination behavior of pure basalt, pure nyl...
متن کاملبررسی عددی رفتار ورقهای کامپوزیتی چندلایه فلز- الیاف تحت ضربه کم سرعت
In this article, low velocity impact behavior of fiber metal laminate (FML) composite plates is investigated under three different impact energies (12.7 J, 16.3 J and 24.2 J). Here, three modeling techniques are used. In one of the models the inter-laminar damage is neglected (model without delamination) and in other two models this damage is simulated using cohesive element and cohesive surfac...

متن کاملMonotonic and cyclic short beam shear response of 3D woven composites
Monotonic, multi-step and cyclic short beam shear tests were conducted on 2D and 3D woven composites. The test results were used to determine the effect of z-yarns on the inter-laminar shear strength as well as the multi-loading behavior. The presence of z-yarns was found to affect not only the inter-laminar shear strength of the composite but also the behavior of the composite beyond the elast...
