Standard Delamination Testing Procedures of Unidirectional Composites

چکیده
In this chapter some of the standard procedures for delamination testing of unidirectional polymer composites will be examined. The main objective is to explore the possibilities of applying the standard testing methods to interlayer toughened composites and to establish parameters which may influence fracture toughness measurements. Existing standards for mode I and mode II delamination testing will be overviewed, in order to define influential parameters which can help in defining realistic fracture toughness values. Also, these results will be used as a benchmark to estimate fracture toughness improvements due to tough interlayers.

Prediction of Mode II of Fracture Toughness in Laminate Composites
In this paper, effects of ply orientation of adjacent plies with (ϕ//θ) interfaces on mode II critical strain energy release rate (fracture toughness) of multidirectional (MD) laminate has been studied. Ply orientation of adjacent plies is one of the most important parameters affects the mode II critical strain energy release rate () in the initiation of the delamination. To study this paramet...

In this study, a novel numerical method is proposed for determination of mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness, GIc, in multi-directional (MD) double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens using fracture properties of unidirectional DCB specimens. Two factors, β and Dc are defined to minimize the undesirable effects on strain energy release rate. β describes the difference between maximum and average...

Using natural hemp fibers to reinforce the tensile characteristics of polymer matrix composites is investigated in this article. The fibers were applied to the epoxy matrix in unidirectional and hybrid tissue forms. After preparation of standard tensile stress test specimens via manual layup, the standard tensile test was done. Young’s modulus, ultimate tensile stress, and the amount of absorb...
متن کاملDelamination Analysis in Composite Root of a Carbon-Layer Reinforced Wind Turbine Blade
The inconsistencies accompanied with material properties tipically cause the rise of delamination risk in composites made of different types of glass and crabon fibers. In this study, the delamination of a composite beam reinforced with a carbon layer under bending load is investigated. To this end, a small piece of a wind turbine blade root in the form of a heterogeneous laminated plate is sim...
متن کاملNasa Technical Memorandum 100662 a Mixed-mode Bending Apparatus for Delamination Testing
1 SUMMARY A mixed-mode delamination test procedure was developed combining double cantilever beam (DCB) mode I loading and end notch flexure (ENF) mode II loading on a split unidirectional laminate. By loading the specimen with a lever, a single applied load simultaneously produces mode I and mode II bending loads on the specimen. This mixed-mode bending (MMB) test was analyzed using both finit...
