The mechanical behavior of these structures is typically different from those of flat laminated structures due to an alternating lay-up sequence, winding tension and manufacturing induced imperfections. However, design and analysis issues require the same engineering data as used for laminated structures in general. It has therefore become necessary to establish an accompanying quality assurance procedure following the production process to identify the material properties of the manufactured tubes especially for the single layer. Consequently, there are three different approaches of determining the elastic moduli and tensile strengths of a filament wound laminate. Either specimens are resected from a curved tube, from a tube with plane areas or standardized flat specimens are manufactured under deviating production conditions. All approaches entail disadvantages, whether in terms of manufacturing or testing parameters including geometry, lay-up sequence, porosity, fiber tension and load direction. This study presents the discrepancies in the determination of mechanical properties of a filament wound glass-fiber-reinforced polymer tube on curved or cylindrical specimens and flat specimens produced to meet the specifications of international standards. In order to obtain material properties not only in longitudinal but also in transverse direction of the tubes, the so-called split-disk tensile test modeled after ASTM Standard D 2290, is used with tube segments.The procedures of specimen production and preparation are described in detail. Material properties such as the fiber volume and void content of the composite specimens are conducted in order to consider quality and production differences. Finally tensile tests are performed and the results are compared and discussed.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OttawaRomanoEhrlichetal., author = {Ottawa, Patrycja and Romano, Marco and Ehrlich, Ingo and Wagner, Marcus and Gebbeken, Norbert}, title = {The influence of ondulation in fabric reinforced composites on dynamic properties in a mesoscopic scale}, series = {11.

Simple micromechanic homogenization theories reach a limit when a laminate consists of fabric reinforced layers instead of unidirectional layers. The ondulations of warp and fill yarn caused by the textile semi-finished product are the reason why the mesoscopic scale, which is in between the microscopic and the macroscopic scale, has to be taken into account when mechanically characterizing fabric reinforced composites [3]. In this scale a mesomechanic kinematic can be derived analytically. Especially, when considering free damped vibrations of structures the repeated acting of the kinematic correlation significantly affects the damping behaviour to higher values compared to theoretically predicted damping ratios. The model is investigated using Finite-Element-Analyses and basically validated experimentally.}, language = {en} } @article{BohmannSchlampEhrlich, author = {Bohmann, T. and Schlamp, Matthias and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {Acoustic emission of material damages in glass fibre-reinforced plastics}, series = {Composites Part B: Engineering}, volume = {155}, journal = {Composites Part B: Engineering}, number = {December}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.compositesb.2018.09.018}, pages = {444 -- 451}, abstract = {The aim of this study is to compare two different standardized testing procedures, tensile testing and Mode-I double cantilever beam (DCB) testing, to evaluate a possible correlation between the dominant failure in glass fibre-reinforced plastics and their according acoustic emissions (AE). AE is processed by using a burst collection of all recorded transient signals and is further analysed with the k-means clustering algorithm. To generate damage related AE, a series of experiments for tensile testing and Mode-I DCB testing is performed on 16-layer glass fibre/epoxy specimens with a cross-ply lay-up for tensile and an unidirectional lay-up for Mode-I DCB testing. Three sensors at tensile testing and one sensor at Mode-I DCB testing gather AE data. The results of clustered burst signals show a good accordance between both testing procedures, with a similar weighted peak frequency (WPF) range in each classified cluster. In total, three different clusters are determined. An assignment of these three clusters to the three dominant damage mechanisms, visually observed by microscopy, is suggested.}, language = {en} } @techreport{ValentinoRomanoEhrlichetal., author = {Valentino, Piergiorgio and Romano, Marco and Ehrlich, Ingo and Furgiuele, Franco and Gebbeken, Norbert}, title = {Mechanische Charakterisierung von basaltfaser-verst{\"a}rkten Kunststoffen mit Gewebeverst{\"a}rkung - Numerische und experimentelle Untersuchungen}, series = {Forschungsbericht 2013}, journal = {Forschungsbericht 2013}, publisher = {inixmedia GmbH Marketing \& Medienberatung}, organization = {Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{BaumerKastenmeierEhrlich, author = {Baumer, A. and Kastenmeier, Andreas and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {Investigation of Bolted Composite Joints with Different Reinforcement Elements at the Bolt Hole}, series = {4th Applied Research Conference, 5th July 2014, Ingolstadt}, booktitle = {4th Applied Research Conference, 5th July 2014, Ingolstadt}, editor = {Ziemann, Olaf and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Pforr, Johannes}, publisher = {Shaker}, pages = {255 -- 258}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{FritzSchmidEhrlich, author = {Fritz, B. and Schmid, Vinzent and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {Analytical and numerical shear stress analysis of adhesive structural bonded joints under tension load}, series = {Applied Research Conference 2014 - ARC 2014, 5th July 2014, Ingolstadt}, booktitle = {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 = {266 -- 271}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{BaumerKastenmeierEhrlich, author = {Baumer, A. and Kastenmeier, Andreas and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {A Numerical Study of Reinforced Bolted Composite Joints}, series = {Applied Research Conference 2015: ARC 2015 - N{\"u}rnberg, 3rd July 2015}, booktitle = {Applied Research Conference 2015: ARC 2015 - N{\"u}rnberg, 3rd July 2015}, editor = {Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Reichenberger, Marcus and Scharfenberg, J. and Ziemann, Olaf}, publisher = {Book-on-demand-Verlag}, pages = {278 -- 282}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WaetzigSchmidEhrlich, author = {W{\"a}tzig, A. and Schmid, Vinzent and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {Damage Modelling of Adhesive Joints Using the Cohesive Zone Model}, series = {Applied Research Conference 2016 - ARC 2016, Augsburg, 24 June 2016}, booktitle = {Applied Research Conference 2016 - ARC 2016, Augsburg, 24 June 2016}, editor = {Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Reichenberger, Marcus and Stolle, Reinhard}, publisher = {Pro Business Verlag}, address = {Berlin}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DinnebierEhrlich, author = {Dinnebier, Heinrich and Ehrlich, Ingo}, title = {The Effects of Severe Temperature Changes and High Humidity on Porous CFRP}, series = {Proceedings of the 15th International Materials Symposium (IMSP´2014), Pamukkale University (Denizli, Turkey), 15./17.

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.

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} }
