Synergy between mechanical damage and abrasion of a composite geosynthetic and its variability

چکیده
In this paper results of tests to assess the effect of mechanical damage (generally associated with installation processes) and abrasion are presented. Laboratory tests were carried out. The material tested is a composite consisting of two overlapped geosynthetics: a nonwoven geotextile and a woven geogrid. The composite was submitted to each referred agent (mechanical damage and abrasion damage) in isolation and sequentially, in order to assess an eventual synergetic effect. The effect of the damage induced in the shortterm mechanical properties of the geosynthetic was assessed. The variability of these properties was assessed by using either 1 or 3 tests per sample. Abrasion damage (either isolated or combined with mechanical damage) was the most critical mechanism, leading to higher reductions of tensile strength. Increasing the number of tests used to characterise the samples from 1 to 3, has reduced the variability of the properties assessed, although the tensile strength values decreased and the peak strain and secant stiffness modulus for 2% strain increased. The number of characterisation tests carried out per sample didn’t affect the trends observed associated with the damage induced. Some synergisms were observed for mechanical and abrasion damage. RÉSUMÉ Dans cet article on présente les résultats des tests pour évaluer l'effet des dommages mécaniques (généralement associés aux processus de l'installation) et de l'abrasion. Des essais en laboratoire ont été effectués. Le composite a été soumis à chaque agent visé (dommages mécaniques et à l'abrasion) isolément et séquentiellement, afin d'évaluer un éventuel effet synergique. On a évalué l'effet des dommages induits dans les propriétés mécaniques à court terme du géosynthétique. La variabilité de ces propriétés a été évaluée à l'aide de 1 à 3 tests par échantillon. Les dommages dus à l'abrasion (quoi que ce soit isolée ou combinée à des dommages mécaniques) étaient le mécanisme plus critique, menant à des réductions plus élevées de résistance à la traction. L’augmentation du nombre de tests utilisés pour caractériser les échantillons de 1 à 3, a réduit la variabilité des propriétés évaluées, bien que les valeurs de résistance à la traction ont diminué et la résistance à 2% de déformation et la déformation à l’effort de traction maximale a augmenté. Le nombre d'essais de caractérisation effectués par échantillon n'a pas affecté les tendances observées associées à des lésions induites. Des synergies ont été observées pour les dommages mécaniques et ceux dus à l'abrasion.

متن کاملModeling of Hygrothermal Damage of Composite Materials
Composite materials have been used extensively in various applications, such as mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and aviation thanks to their interesting mechanical properties. However, a substantial drawback in the use of such composite materials is that they absorb a significant amount of moisture when exposed to severe hygrothermal conditions. This factor dramatically affects t...
