Filament wound composite structures are widely used in the field of pressure vessels, tubes, pipelines or rocket cases. 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.
Shock-tube tests on conventional windows: Exploring retrofit concepts for enhanced blast protection
(2024)
Ensuring blast protection for existing buildings, especially addressing the vulnerability of conventional windows, is a significant challenge. 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.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird die Charakterisierung des mechanischen Verhaltens von auskragenden Rohren aus kohlenstofffaserverstärktem Kunststoff (CFK) mit Querkraftbelastung an einem Ende und einer mehrreihigen Bolzenverbindung am anderen Ende behandelt. 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. Für das Biegeverhalten der CFK-Rohre im frei auskragenden Bereich werden kontinuumsmechanische Modelle der anisotropen Elastizität für Rohre unter reiner Biegebelastung beschrieben, adaptiert und bezüglich der Ergebnisse bewertet. Um die Vergleichbarkeit der Berechnungsmodelle und Versuche zu gewährleisten, wird einerseits der Einfluss der speziellen Schichtstruktur in gewickelten CFK-Rohren diskutiert und andererseits werden die transversal-isotropen Materialeigenschaften der Einzelschicht an Probekörpern aus den Rohren bestimmt.

Review of elasto-static models for three-dimensional analysis of thick-walled anisotropic tubes
(2023)
Most shell or beam models of anisotropic tubes under bending have no validity for thick-walled structures. As a result, the need to develop three-dimensional formulations which allow a change in the stress, strain and displacement distributions across the radial component arises. Basic formulations on three-dimensional anisotropic elasticity were made either stressor displacement-based by Lekhnitskii or Stroh on plates. Lekhnitskii also was the first to expand these analytical formulations to tubes under various loading conditions. This paper presents a review of the stress and strain analysis of tube models using three-dimensional anisotropic elasticity. The focus lies on layered structures, like fiber-reinforced plastics, under various bending loads, although the basic formulations and models regarding axisymmetric loads are briefly discussed. One section is also dedicated to the determination of an equivalent bending stiffness of tubes.
