Quantification of impact damages in CFRP and GFRP structures with thermography and ultrasonics
(2018)
For the quantification of impact damage in CFRP and GFRP structures, first passive thermography measurements have been performed at the front and rear side of the test specimens during low velocity impact load. After loading, the damaged structures have been investigated non-destructively with active thermography with flash excitation and with step heating and with two different ultrasonic methods (phased array and air coupled ultrasonics). The damage sizes quantified with all methods are evaluated and compared. In addition, the depth of the greatest damage inside the different test specimens is analysed.
Der Umfang der durch Impacts in Faserverbundmaterialien erzeugten Schäden ist abhängig von der Energie des Impacts, von der Zusammensetzung und dem Aufbau der Faserverbundwerkstoffe und von der Geometrie der Bauteile und hier im Wesentlichen von der Dicke des Bauteils. Der zerstörungsfreie Nachweis dieser Schädigungen kann sowohl mit Ultraschallverfahren als auch mit Verfahren der aktiven Thermografie erfolgen. Ein Vergleich der Nachweisempfindlichkeiten dieser Verfahren für die unterschiedlichen Schädigungen wird in diesem Beitrag in Abhängigkeit vom verwendeten Faserverbundwerkstoff (CFK und GFK), der Dicke des Materials und von der Impactenergie durchgeführt. Ergänzt werden die im Anschluss an die Schädigung eingesetzten ZfP-Verfahren mit zeitlich hochaufgelösten Thermografiemessungen, die bereits während des Impacts aufgenommen wurden.
Impact damages and delaminations in fibre-reinforced composites (FRC) might not be visible at the surface, but could have an influence on the resistance and on the long-term behaviour of the component. Therefore, and especially for safety relevant structures, non-destructive methods are required for the assessment of such damages.
Active thermography methods are suitable to characterize damages after loading using different kind of excitation techniques and various configurations of infrared (IR) camera and heating sources. Here, flash lamps, impulse excitation with infrared radiator and lock-in technique with halogen lamps or widened laser beams are suited. In addition, non-optical sources like sonotrodes (requiring direct contact to the structure) or induction generators (only suited for carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) structures) could be applied as well. For the investigation of the evolution of the damage during the impact, passive thermography can be applied in-situ. Elastic and plastic deformations alter the temperature of the structure and thus the temperature on the surface.
In this contribution, at first the general principles of quantitative defect characterisation in FRC using active thermography with flash, impulse and lock-in excitation are described. Optical and thermal properties of the FRC material and its anisotropy are considered. Results of phase differences obtained at flat bottom holes with flash and lock-in thermography are compared for qualifying both methods for quantitative defect characterization. Secondly, the damage evolution of CFRP and GFRP structures under impact load and static tensile loading is described. The spatial and temporal evolution of the surface temperature enables us to distinguish matrix cracks or fibre-matrix separation from delaminations between the layers. Afterwards, all results for loading defects, obtained by passive and active thermography, are compared with each other. Fig. 1 and 2 show the difference of passive and flash thermography obtained at impact and tensile loaded CFRP plates, respectively. As one purpose of these investigations is the development of standards within national (DIN) and European (CEN) standardisation bodies, new draft and final standards are presented and further needs are discussed at the end of the presentation.
More than 80 representatives of SMEs, industrial companies and research institutes met on September 12 at the workshop "Challenges in Additive Manufacturing: Innovative Materials and Quality Control" at BAM in Adlershof to discuss the latest developments in materials and quality control in additive manufacturing.
In special lectures, researchers, users and equipment manufacturers reported on the latest and future developments in additive manufacturing. Furthermore, funding opportunities for projects between SMEs and research institutions on a national and European level were presented.
