Experimental and numerical investigation of mechanical behavior of plain woven CFRP composites subjected to three-point bending

The mechanical behavior of plain woven Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites under Three-Point Bending (TPB) is investigated via experimental and numerical approaches. Multiscale models, including microscale, mesoscale and macroscale models, have been developed to characterize the TPB strength and damages. Thereinto, Representative Volume Elements (RVEs) of the microscale and mesoscale structures are established to determine the effective properties of carbon-fiber yarn and CFRP composites, respectively. Aimed at accurately and efficiently predicting the TPB behavior, an Equivalent Cross-Ply Laminate (ECPL) cell is proposed to simplify the inherent woven architecture, and the effective properties of the subcell are computed using a local homogenization approach. The macroscale model of the TPB specimen is constructed by a topology structure of ECPL cells to predict the mechanical behavior. The TPB experiments have been performed to validate the multiscale models. Both the experimental and numerical results reveal that delamination mainly appears in the top and bottom interfaces of the CFRP laminates. And matrix cracking and delamination are identified as the significant damage modes during the TPB process. Finally, the quasi-static and dynamic behaviors of plain woven composites are discussed by comparing the results of Low-Velocity Impact (LVI) and TPB simulations.     

三种钻头钻削CFRP的制孔损伤对比

采用二刃双锋角钻头、三刃双锋角钻头和圆弧形钻头在不同加工参数下钻削CFRP,对比分析了孔入出口质量(入口损伤、毛刺和出口撕裂),并采用毛刺存在角度来衡量毛刺的多少。结果表明:随着进给量的增大毛刺存在的角度(范围)α先减小后增大;综合考虑孔入口和出口质量(毛刺和撕裂因子),三刃双锋角钻头最适合钻CFRP。

阵列碳纤维复合材料管是由碳纤维增强复合材料(CFRP)薄壁圆筒壳阵列排布后粘接制备而成，兼具碳纤维复合材料和蜂窝结构的优异性能，是一种新型的可应用于深空探测反射面板的理想材料结构。由于材料和制备方面的特殊性，在阵列碳纤维复合材料管加工过程中会由于磨削力过大导致多种加工损伤，为其高效低损伤加工带来了挑战。本文开展CFRP薄壁圆筒壳磨削加工正交试验，系统研究磨削深度、切出角度、主轴转速、进给率对磨削力的影响规律和影响程度。研究结果表明:工艺参数对水平面合力的影响程度依次为进给率、磨削深度、切出角度、主轴转速，对轴向力的影响程度依次为切出角度、主轴转速、进给率、磨削深度。研究对阵列碳纤维复合材料管高效低损伤加工工艺的制订具有参考意义。     

Optimum alternate material selection methodology for an aircraft skin

Weight penalty has been a challenge for design engineers of aerospace vehicles. Today’s high-efficiency combat aircraft undergoes intense stress and strain during flying missions, which require stronger and stiffer materials to retain structural integrity. Though metallic materials have been successfully used for the construction of aircraft structures and components, metals still have a low strength-to-weight ratio. This paper aims to develop an alternate optimised material selection methodolog...
