Physical non-linearity of unidirectional polymer matrix composites in cyclic fatigue life analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
The efficient use of fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites in load-carrying structures requires detailed analyses to assess their mechanical performance, cost, and weight saving aspects. To accurately analyze the cyclic fatigue life of composite laminates, the influence of the physical non-linearity of the unidirectional lamina in the cyclic fatigue life analysis was examined using enhanced material models.

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 کاملFatigue Life Prediction of Fiber-Reinforced Ceramic-Matrix Composites with Different Fiber Preforms at Room and Elevated Temperatures
In this paper, the fatigue life of fiber-reinforced ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) with different fiber preforms, i.e., unidirectional, cross-ply, 2D (two dimensional), 2.5D and 3D CMCs at room and elevated temperatures in air and oxidative environments, has been predicted using the micromechanics approach. An effective coefficient of the fiber volume fraction along the loading direction (ECF...
