The specimens were subjected to low-velocity impacts (LVI) to produce barely visible impact damages (BVID). To compare the dependency of the matrix system and the laminate lay-up on the impact damage, four test series were set up. Therefore, laminates with an epoxy (EP) and a polyether ether ketone (PEEK) matrix in a quasi-isotropic (QI) [+45/0/-45/90]2s and an orthotropic (OT) fiber lay-up [0/90]4s were manufactured. To eliminate the influence of variant fiber systems, the thermoplastic tape and the thermoset prepreg contain similar carbon fibers (CF). After impact testing with three different impact energies, inner damages were investigated by using ultrasonic analyses. To get a deeper understanding of the interior damage mechanisms, cross sections of the damaged areas were examined via reflected light microscopy. By using these destructive and non-destructive test methods, significant differences in the damage behavior of composites with thermoplastic and thermoset matrix systems were identified for both laminate lay-ups.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SieglRiegerKovariketal., author = {Siegl, Marco and Rieger, David and Kov{\´a}r{\´i}k, Tom{\´a}š and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {Long-Term Behavior of Thermoplastics under UV Light tested by a self-build Device}, series = {3.

In technical applications, thermoplastic materials are oftenaffected by aging and a related deterioration of the mechanical properties. Therefore, it is necessary to identifythe aging behavior of thermoplastic materials. For this,experiments were performed for three thermoplasticmaterials, namely polypropylene (PP), ultra high mole -cular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and high impactstrength polystyrene (HIPS). For these experiments, a UV chamber was constructed according to the internationalstandard EN ISO 4892-3 for simulation of exposurebehind window glass. The results are evaluated by testing the flexural strength and the dynamic mechanicalresponse after a selected period of time under UV lightand then compared to untreated test specimens.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ValentinoRomanoEhrlichetal., author = {Valentino, Piergiorgio and Romano, Marco and Ehrlich, Ingo and Furgiuele, Franco and Gebbeken, Norbert}, title = {Mechanical characterization of basalt fibre reinforced plastic with different fabric reinforcements - Tensile tests and FE-calculations with representative volume elements (RVEs)}, series = {Acta Fracturae - XXll Convegno Nazionale IGF (Italiano Gruppo Frattura)}, booktitle = {Acta Fracturae - XXll Convegno Nazionale IGF (Italiano Gruppo Frattura)}, editor = {Iacovello, F. and Risitano, G. and Susmel, L.}, abstract = {This paper describes the results of tensile tests and finite element (FE) calculations with representative volume elements (RVEs) of basalt fibre reinforced plastic with two different types of fabric reinforcements. As fabric reinforcements show repeating ondulations of warp and fill yarn, simple mixtures laws reach their limits. That is the reason why the mesoscopic dimension, lying between the microscopic and the macroscopic dimension, has to be taken into account when a mechanical characterization of fabric reinforced composites is carried out. The aim of this work is to determine the stiffness of a fabric reinforced composite in warp and fill direction with numerical investigations. The simulations are based on FE-calculation with two different RVEs. The tensile tests and the FE-calculations have been carried out for two different types of basalt fabrics, namely twill 2/2 and twill 1/3. The comparison between the experimental data and the results of the FE-calculations are provided in order to support the validity of the proposed model.}, language = {en} } @article{MicklitzRomanoEhrlichetal., author = {Micklitz, Matthias and Romano, Marco and Ehrlich, Ingo and Gebbeken, Norbert}, title = {The influence of ondulations in fabric reinforced layers on the damping properties of fibre-reinforced plastics}, series = {Applied Research Conference 2014 - ARC 2014, 5th July 2014, Ingolstadt}, journal = {Applied Research Conference 2014 - ARC 2014, 5th July 2014, Ingolstadt}, editor = {Ziemann, Olaf and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Pforr, Johannes}, publisher = {Shaker}, address = {Aachen}, pages = {306 -- 310}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{NiebauerSchmidEhrlich, author = {Niebauer, M. and Schmid, Vinzent and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {Failure Criteria of Adhesively Bonded Joints}, series = {Applied Research Conference 2015 - ARC 2015, N{\"u}rnberg, 3rd July 2015 - 16.

Design/methodology/approach: The porous CFRP is characterized using standard techniques such as matrix digestion as well as the more sophisticated method of high resolution Microfocus X-Ray Tomography (μCT). A comparison of the results of those methods is presented. The mass gains of specimens with a wide range of porosity have been measured both in constant humidity and in alternating environments. Findings: It could be shown that severe temperature changes can temporarily increase the moisture content of porous CFRP. However, after the return to a constant environment, the moisture content returns back to saturation levels. Furthermore, it could be shown by X-Ray Tomography that even under severe climatic conditions no permanent liquid water condensates inside the pores. Research limitations/implications: Using Microfocus Computed Tomography it could be shown that even after nearly a year under hot-wet conditions and more than 150 severe temperature cycles there is no liquid water detectable inside the pores. Originality/value: In this paper the effects of severe temperature changes and high humidity on porous CFRP.}, language = {en} }
