Investigation of multiple cracking in glass/epoxy 2D woven composites by vibrothermography
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experimental study about the application of vibrothermography for the investigation of multiple microcracking in woven composites is here reported. The material is first damaged during tensile loading tests in order to have samples that present increasingly damaged states. The goal of the study is to apply vibrothermography to compare the sensitivity of their heating behaviour (global and local) with the crack density. A correlation between the heating and the loss of a mechanical property of the material (in this case the Young modulus) estimated with the tensile loading tests is also highlighted.

In addition to manufacturing cost and production rates, damage resistance has become a major issue for the composites industry. Three-dimensional (3D) woven composites have superior through-thickness properties compared to two-dimensional (2D) laminates, for example, improved impact damage resistance, high interlaminar fracture toughness and reduced notch sensitivity. The performance of 3D wove...
