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.

April 2018, Weiden, Tagungsband; Festschrift, 5 Jahre OTH-Verbund N2 - This article presents first results of artificial aging experi-ments by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on thermoplasticmaterials conducted as an intent of the research project Thermoplastic Composite Structures (TheCoS) in colla-boration of the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule(OTH) Regensburg and the University of West Bohemia(UWB) in Pilsen as part of a cross-border cooperation. 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.

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.

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.

The investigated kinds of fibres are carbon, glass and basalt. Design/methodology/approach: The test panels have been impregnated with thermoset resin. Curing was done by autoclave processing. In order to obtain comparable fibre volume contents of approx. 60 % in the different layups (monolithic and hybrid without and with separating layer), curing cycles adapted to the type of layup have been identified. The resulting fibre volume content of the test panels has been determined both by weighing and experimentally by chemical extraction and calcination. The impact load was applied by an instrumented experimental setup. Thereby both commercially available bullets and bearing balls accelerated with weighted propellant in a sabot have been used as impactors. The measured values are the velocities of the bearing balls as the impactor before and after penetration of the test panels. Findings: In both cases the results show the energy dissipation capacity of each single kind of fibre in case of the monolithic layups as well as the enhanced properties of the hybrid stacked layups without and with the separating layer as a core material. Typical failure modes on the impact surface and on the outlet areas are identified. Research limitations/implications: The influence of the respective kind of impactors, namely bullets and bearing balls, on the evaluated results is identified. Thereby the bearing balls exhibited a higher degree of reproducibility due to several reasons. Originality/value: Fibre reinforced plastics with hybrid stacking sequences can be used as load-bearing structures and at the same time as safety structures for passengers in automotive or aerospace applications. Moreover, with the hybrid stacked composites lightweight concepts can efficiently be realized regarding energy saving issues.

The tubes are frequently subjected to bending loads, depending on the application. In order that the dimensioning of the tubes can be ensured, analytical bending models are used to calculate the resulting stresses, strains and displacements in the individual layers of the laminate. This enables the making of a statement about the failure of the fiber-reinforced tube by choosing an appropriate failure criterion. For the use of these bending models, it is necessary to understand the respective underlying theory. The theory provides the basis for the mathematical description of the mechanical properties for a single-layered tube and using the relationships between the stresses and strains that occur in the Cylindrical coordinate system for this calculation step. For this reason, a redefinition of the compliance matrix from the transformation about the winding angle to the Cylindrical coordinate system and a modification of the stress and strain vectors is necessary, because the defined Cartesian coordinate system of the model cannot be used for wounded FRP tubes. The transformation causes an exchange of entries in the compliance matrix, which remain in the correct relationship between the particular stress and strains. This step is not specified and may lead to incorrect results due to the incorrect entry of compliances. The present publication refers to sketch on this issue and represent a simplification of the changeover to the level required by the bending models notation of vectors in the form of a permutation. In addition, a new name for the pre-acquisition of the redefined compliances is given to prevent confusion when entering the material law of a bending model. Finally, the permuted and redefined compliances are proved in an example to determine their accuracy.

Design/methodology/approach: Due to the definition of plain representative sequences of balanced plain-weave and twill-weave 2/2 fabric reinforced single layers based on sines the variable geometric parameters are the amplitude and the length of the ondulation. Findings: The mesomechanic kinematic can be observed in the FE analyses for both kinds of fabric constructions. Research limitations/implications: The FE analyses consider elasticity and contraction due to Poisson effects, respectively, of the model under selected longitudinal strains. Practical implications: The results are evaluated at relevant positions on the centre-line of the ondulated warp-yarn of the plain representative model. A direct and linear coupling in case of the transversal kinematic behaviour, and thereby a corresponding definite reduction of the evaluated longitudinal strains in terms of the difference of the applied and determined longitudinal strains is identified. Originality/value: Both characteristic purely kinematic reactions due to geometric constraints directly depend on the introduced degree of ondulation. This non-dimensional parameter relates amplitude and length of one complete ondulation, and thus represents the intensity of the ondulation of the respective fabric construction.

Design/methodology/approach: Mechanical acting principles identified by different investigations are considered. Aspects of the determination and calculation of structural mechanical material properties of fabric reinforced composites are described. Approaches intending the description and classification of ondulations in fabrics reinforced single layers are demonstrated. Findings: The mesomechanic geometry of fabrics is not considered sufficiently by relatively simple homogenization approaches. Yet, it significantly affects its structural dynamic material properties, especially the dynamic ones. Research limitations/implications: In each case the different damping mechanisms act coupled and occur at the same time. Therefore a separation procedure is required in any case. Practical implications: Against the background of the comparison and remarks of the presented papers a reasonable further procedure is recommended. Thereby, FE-calculations with a parametrical variation of the mesomechanic geometry in order to identify kinematic correlations due to geometric constraints are suggested. Originality/value: The idea of the representation of the geometric conditions in terms of a degree of ondulation is described. Such a non-dimensional specific value representing the intensity of the ondulation would enable the comparability of the results of different kinds of investigations.

As fabric reinforcements show repeating undulations of warp and fill yarn, simple mixtures law cannot be applied. As a consequence, the mesoscopic scale, lying between the microscopic and the macroscopic one, has to be taken into account to mechanically characterize a fabric reinforced composite. The aim of this work is to evaluate the stiffness of a fabric reinforced composite in warp and fill direction. In particular a numerical FE model, assuming elliptical sections and sinusoidal shape of the yarns, has been implemented and experimental tests have been carried out in order to validate the proposed model. Finally, the strength and the failure modes le orientation, have been experimentally investigated.

Design/methodology/approach: For the evaluation of the presumed effect experimental structural dynamic investigations comparing unidirectionally and fabric reinforced plastics are carried out. In detail the free decay behaviour of flat beamlike specimens under fixed-free boundary conditions and relatively constant and reproducible displacement excitation is investigated. Findings: The vibrating structure has been measured by a laser scanning vibrometer PSV 400 from POLYTEC. In both cases evaluation of the results yields enhanced damping properties of the specimens with fabric reinforcement compared to the unidirectionally reinforced specimens. The results justify the presumed acting of a mesomechanic kinematic. Research limitations/implications: The results show that in either case the material damping in terms of the logarithmic decrement of the fabric reinforced material is higher than the material damping in of the unidirectionally reinforced material. Additionally, when the fabric reinforced specimens are addressed, in each case the plain weave reinforced specimens exhibited higher values of the material damping as the twill weave 2/2 reinforced ones. Originality/value: Ondulations in fabrics as a textile semi-finished product are caused by the alternating crossing of warp and fill yarns. In the mesoscopic scale the acting of a mesomechanic kinematic is presumed to enhance the damping properties under cyclic elastic deformation. For the evaluation of the presumed effect experimental structural dynamic investigations comparing unidirectionally and fabric reinforced plastics are carried out.

Außen liegende Bauteile in Form dünnwandiger Flächentragwerke in diesen Anwendungen weisen zumeist nicht eine kreisrunde, sondern unstetige Bauteilkrümmung auf und sind aufgrund ihres Einsatzortes durch Schlagbelastungen (Impacts) in verschiedenen Geschwindigkeitsbereichen gefährdet. Besonders im Niedergeschwindigkeitsbereich sind diese Impacts bei diesen meist gekrümmten Strukturen als kritisch zu beurteilen, da sie von außen oftmals nicht sichtbar sind, sich aber stark auf die verbleibende Restfestigkeit, insbesondere die Druck- und Schwingfestigkeit, aufgrund inter- und intralaminarer Schädigungen auswirken. Sie stellen demnach eine kritisch zu betrachtende Belastungsart dar. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden oben benannte unstetig gekrümmte Flächentragwerke auf eine unstetig elliptisch gekrümmte Prüfkörpergeometrie in Anlehnung an den Querschnitt einer Flügelvorderkante abstrahiert. Mittels experimenteller, numerischer und analytischer Untersuchungen wird ein grundlegendes Verständnis des Krümmungseinflusses auf das Schädigungs- und Verformungsverhalten ebendieser Strukturen bei Impact-Belastung und quasi-statischer Druckbelastung erarbeitet. Prüfkörper mit vier verschiedenen Krümmungsstufen werden dahingehend unter Verwendung einer Fallbolzenanlage im Niedergeschwindigkeitsbereich schädigend geprüft und die resultierende projizierende Schadensfläche in Abhängigkeit des Krümmungsgrades ausgewertet. Zur Untersuchung des reinen Krümmungseinflusses werden Prüfkörper in quasistatischen Druckversuchen im elastischen Bereich auf deren Verformungsverhalten hin analysiert. Durch Einführung des geometriebedingten Verformungswiderstandes als vergleichende Kenngröße kann auf Basis lokal variierender Struktursteifigkeiten ein Zusammenhang aus dem Impact-Verhalten und dem elastischen Verformungsverhalten gleicher Krümmungsstufen geschlossen werden. Durch begleitende numerische Untersuchungen wird das Verformungsverhalten sowie die sich dabei einstellenden einzelschichtspezifischen Spannungszustände untersucht. Weiterhin werden bestehende analytische Berechnungsmethoden für stetige Kreisbögen im Berechnungsumfang erweitert und auf die vorliegende Problemstellungübertragen. Eine Gegenüberstellung und Diskussion aller erfassten Versuchs- und Berechnungsergebnisse zeigt abschließend gemeinsame Abhängigkeiten auf.

Bolzenverbindungen mit Fügepartner aus CFK werden im Stand der Technik nur an ebenen, zug- oder druckbelasteten, Verbindungen untersucht, weshalb der Einfluss der Biegebelastung, der gekrümmten Auflageflächen und des geschlossenen Rohrprofils untersucht und qualifiziert wird. Zudem zeigt sich ein Effekt der Abstützung bzw. resultierenden Verformungsbehinderung. Die Grundlage der Untersuchungen bilden 2-Punkt-Biegeversuche mit Verzerrungs- und Verschiebungsmessungen, die über FE-Modelle numerisch abgebildet und in einer Verzerrungs- und Spannungsanalyse detaillierter ausgewertet werden. Zur Darstellung des Einflusses der Biegebelastung werden zudem reine Zug- und Drucklasten aufgebracht, ausgewertet und abgeglichen. In drei Variationen des Biegeversuchs werden zudem, sowohl experimentell als auch numerisch, Effekte zu einer möglichen Steigerung der Verbindungsfestigkeit untersucht. Dazu zählt die Verwendung von zusätzlichen Schichten aus Titanlegierung im Kraftüberleitungsbereich, ein Versetzen der Bolzen im Umfang und eine Änderung der Abstützung in Lastrichtung.

This innovation diverges from conventional methods by combining processes to reduce costs by using raw materials instead of organotapes, allowing customised material combinations and utilising residual heat from tape production. The new process uses carbon roving and molten low-viscosity PA6 granulates, processed through a new direct impregnation setup in siphon design. Key advancements include a high-speed impregnation module capable of up to 1 m/s with high-performance extruders, cost-effective infrared emitters for winding, and a powered consolidation unit with adjustable winding angles between ±65° and ±90°. Experiments demonstrate operational speeds of approximately 471 mm/min, with an optimal cross-winding speed of 354 mm/min due to the technical limitations of the laboratory extruder and IR emitter used. Based on the technical limitations of the current system, future improvements and methodological changes will be discussed.

Such unprotected windows can shatter even with moderate blast loads, posing a substantial risk of injury to occupants. This article discusses experimental research on enhancing the blast protection of single casement windows with insulating glass units and frames made of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC). A retrofit concept using anti-shatter films, metallic sash reinforcements, adhesive bonding of the glazing to the sash frame, and a burglary resistance fitting-system was developed and tested in an explosion-driven shock-tube. Moreover, novel patches made of glass fiber-reinforced polymer applied to the corners of the window frames have been tested and proven effective in providing additional strength to the window. The study concludes that the tested combination of retrofit measures can significantly reduce hazards from window fragments without compromising functionality or aesthetics.

The miniaturized dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuators (PA) were fabricated by means of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). We elucidate how to make the actuator samples scalable and applicable to any desired shape by the use of flexible inorganic zirconia substrates. For this purpose, we applied our developed embedding method to integrate the micro actuators in modern carbon/glass fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP/GFRP) materials. Next, the embedded actuator samples were mounted on a mechanical air profile-like fixture and placed in the icing wind tunnel iCORE. The samples were tested in rime ice conditions at temperatures of -15 to -20° C and air speeds up to 30 m/s. Unlike other groups we used a thin film zirconia substrate as dielectric for the plasma actuator. Due to the low substrate thickness of just 150 µm, an operating voltage of 2 kVRMS is already sufficient enough for a stable plasma formation. The experiments show that the operated actuator was able to prevent the ice formation and first indications of a De-icing function were also found. Hence, we show that it is feasible to realize an anti-icing system with zirconia-based plasma actuators operated at lower voltages compared to conventional ones.

October 2022, 16. November 2022, 30 November 2022, Munich/Neubiberg/Garching N2 - Additive Fertigung hat sich in zahlreichen industriellen Anwendungen etabliert und bildet eine wichtige Schlüsseltechnologie. Im Gegensatz zu metallischen Werkstoffen, haben additiv gefertigte Bauteile aus Kunststoffen geringere Festigkeit und Steifigkeit, sodass sich ihre Verwendung als lasttragende Strukturen schwierig gestaltet. Insbesondere der Einsatz von endlosen Verstärkungsfasern kann die mechanischen Eigenschaften additiv gefertigter Strukturen signifikant verbessern und die Fertigung hochbelastbarer Faserverbundstrukturen im 3D-Druckverfahren ermöglichen. Daher gilt es aktuell notwendige Anlagen und Prozessketten für den Fertigungsprozess aber auch Vorgehensweisen für die belastungsoptimierte Auslegung der Faserverläufe innerhalb des Bauteils zu entwickeln, um so das Themengebiet „Endlosfaserverstärkter 3D-Druck“ weiter voranzutreiben. Für mehr räumliche Freiheit bei der Positionierung der Druckbahnen können industrieroboterbasierte Systeme eingesetzt werden, um so das Potenzial gerichteter Bauweise von Faserverbundstrukturen auch im additiven Fertigungsprozess vollumfänglich ausschöpfen zu können. Dabei ermöglicht ihr Einsatz auch eine räumliche Ablage der Faserverstärkung, wobei für die Materialablage ein geeigneter 3D-Druckkopf erforderlich ist. Für die Implementierung der Faserverstärkung ist zudem eine dem Lastfall entsprechende Auslegung des Bauteils sowie die Ermittlung einer sinnvollen Faserpositionierung innerhalb des Bauteils erforderlich, wobei unterschiedliche Variablen aus den Bereichen Material, Struktur und Fertigungsprozess berücksichtigt werden müssen. Im Rahmen des Vortrages werden die Herausforderungen der Technologieentwicklung des endlosfaserverstärkten 3D-Drucks aufgegriffen sowie auf eine belastungsorientierte Faserpositionierung näher eingegangen. Aktuelle Erkenntnisse werden diskutiert sowie eine Entwurfsmethodik für die Prozesspfadgenerierung vorgeschlagen.

It considers the differing mechanical properties of unidirectional fiber reinforced material by excluding overlapping regions perpendicular to the fiber direction of the particular layer. A mechanical and numerical comparison of tensile strength of stepped joints with continuous step lengths per ply and stepped joints with reduced step lengths in plies with fiber orientation differing from load direction is performed. Finite element simulations show similar shear stresses. Mechanical tests of CFRP laminates with stepped joints show no significant deviation in tensile strength, in spite of a joint length reduction of nearly 40%. This leads to the possibility of a significant reduction of repair area.

It is not known whether the findings obtained from standardized tests can be transferred to curved structures or which adaptions are required. Therefore, a deeper understanding of the deformation and damage behavior of inconsistently curved structures is essential to transfer the observed impact behavior of flat specimens to general curved structures and therefore to utilize the full lightweight potential of a load-specific design. An accurate description of the procedure as well as the results of the experimental and numerical study of the low-velocity impact behavior of differently single-curved elliptic specimens is presented. To close the research gap of the impact behavior of geometries with curvatures between the plates and simplified leading edges, novel specimens geometries have been derived from established impact test standards. Glassfiber-reinforced specimens are subjected to an instrumented impact test at constant impact energy. This is numerically investigated by a stacked-layer model, which used cohesive zone modeling to enable the simulation of matrix cracking, fiber fracture and delamination. The resulting projected damage areas, as well as the force and deflection histories, were evaluated and section cuts were examined to discuss the damage morphology, formation and propagation process. Significant effects on maximum deflection, compliance and dynamic behavior on the size and morphology of damage were found.

In order to achieve greater flexibility, there is a necessity for 3D printing systems that allow for customisable material selection and fiber positioning. This paper presents the design of a robot-based 3D printing system that incorporates an in-situ impregnation line and flexibility regarding the machine code generation for fiber positioning. The development of the system enabled the attainment of an average fiber volume content of up to 37.12%. In the tensile tests, material characteristics up to E1 = 24.7 GPa and strength of up to RM1 = 0.51 GPa were determined.
