压辊材料及形状对纤维铺放压紧效果的影响

近年来纤维铺放（AFP）技术被广泛用于大型复杂飞机复合材料构件成型。为了保证纤维铺放过程的一致性,纤维铺放压辊必须在适应芯模型面的同时具有较好的压紧力分布均匀性。鉴于此,对不同弹性模量的压辊材料进行了试验分析,薄膜压力传感器及超声显微镜测试结果表明,低弹性模量的压辊材料变形较大,较好地适应了芯模表面,压力分布相对均匀且可以减少铺层的层间孔隙数量,硅橡胶压辊比聚乙烯压辊压紧力分布均匀性提高了50%~60%,铺层孔隙率降低了92.1%。针对孔隙分布主要集中在压辊两端及压紧力在压辊两端下降幅度较大的问题,采用ANSYS Workbench对压辊端部进行斜端面优化,得到最优倾斜角度为20°;测试结果表明斜端面压辊压力分布均匀性比直断面压辊提高了42.9%,铺层孔隙率下降了51.6%。     

Determination of thermal expansion coefficients for unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites

In the present work, the coefficients of thermal expansion（CTEs） of unidirectional（UD）fiber-reinforced composites are studied. First, an attempt is made to propose a model to predict both longitudinal and transverse CTEs of UD composites by means of thermo-elastic mechanics analysis. The proposed model is supposed to be a concentric cylinder with a transversely isotropic fiber embedded in an isotropic matrix, and it is subjected to a uniform temperature change. Then a concise and explicit formula is offered for each CTE. Finally, some finite element（FE） models are created by a finite element program MSC. Patran according to different material systems and fiber volume fractions. In addition, the available experimental data and results of other analytical solutions of CTEs are presented. Comparisons are made among the results of the cylinder model,the finite element method（FEM）, experiments, and other solutions, which show that the predicted CTEs by the new model are in good agreement with the experimental data. In particular, transverse CTEs generally offer better agreements than those predicted by most of other solutions.     

Nanofillers modification of Epocast 50-A1/946 epoxy for bonded joints

Epocast 50-A1/946 epoxy was primarily developed for joining and repairing of composite aircraft structural components. The objective of the present work is to modify the Epocast epoxy resin by different nanofillers infusion. The used nanofillers include multi-walled carbon nanotubes（MWCNTs）, SiC and Al2O3 nanoparticles. The nanofillers with different weight percentages are ultrasonically dispersed in the epoxy resin. The sonication time and amplitude for MWCNTs are reduced compared to Al2O3 and SiC nanoparticles to avoid the damage of MWCNTs during sonication processes. The fabricated neat epoxy and twelve nanocomposite panels were characterized via standard tension and in-plane shear tests. The experimental results show that the nanocomposites materials with 0.5wt% MWCNTs, 1.5wt% SiC and 1.5wt% Al2O3 nanoparticles have the highest improvement in the tensile properties compared to the other nanofiller loading percentages.The improvements in the shear properties of these nanocomposite materials were respectively equal to 5.5%, 4.9%, and 6.3% for shear strengths, and 10.3%, 16.0%, and 8.1% for shear moduli. The optimum nanofiller loading percentages will be used in the following papers concerning their effect on the bonded joints/repairs of carbon fiber reinforced composites.
