Research Abstract |
Computer aided testing system was developed for measuring damage accumulation of composite laminates under cyclic load. Stiffness reduction and energy assumption in the stress versus strain diagram are monitored as a function of cycle numbers. A master curve of stiffness degradation of fatigue damage is obtained for glass, carbon, aramid and their hybrid fibers reinforced plastic. Hybrid effect and design criteria were discussed. Static and fatigue tests were carried out for unidirectional, cross plied and quasi-isotropic carbonepoxy composite laminates, and their S-N diagrams and stiffness degradation curves were discussed with special consideration on propagation behavior of delamination and matrix cracks. A model of delamination growth model under cyclic load based on the fracture mechanics approach. Stress and strain concentration at delamination was measured by energy release rate. Effect of elastic moduli on fatigue strength was well explained by the model based on the energy release rate. In order to measure the accurate behavior of fatigue delamination growth, end notched flexur (ENF) test was carried out under constant crack shear displacement rate. A power raw relation between mode II energy release rate and delamination growth rate was obtained.
