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.
Purpose:
of this paper is experimental investigation of damping properties of unidirectionally and fabric reinforced plastics by the free decay method.
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.
Die vorliegende Arbeit behandelt die analytische und numerische Identifikation einer mesomechanischen Kinematik in gewebeverstärkten Einzellagen sowie deren Validierung über die Strukturdynamik von flachen stabförmigen Probekörpern aus kohlenstofffaserverstärktem Kunststoff (CFK). Unter der Voraussetzung, dass das wiederholte Wirken der Kinematik Energie dissipiert, trägt sie bei zyklischer viskoelastischer Deformation zusätzlich zur reinen viskoelastischen Werkstoffdämpfung in gewebeverstärkten Einzellagen bei.
Die analytischen und numerischen Untersuchungen beschränken sich auf die Betrachtung des ebenen, zweidimensionalen Zusammenhangs einer vollständigen Ondulation bzw. einer repräsentativen Sequenz in Dickenrichtung. Zur Parameteridentifikation werden die geometrischen Abmessungen in definierten Schritten variiert. Dafür wird der Grad der Ondulation in gewebeverstärkten Einzellagen Õ=A/L als dimensionslose Kennzahl eingeführt. Zur Validierung der dämpfungserhöhenden Wirkung der in den analytischen und numerischen Untersuchung identifizierten mesomechanischen Kinematik in gewebeverstärkten Einzellagen werden in experimentellen strukturdynamischen Untersuchungen frei abklingende Transversalschwingungen von einseitig fest eingespannten Probekörpern untersucht. Im Detail werden flache stabförmige Probekörper aus kohlenstofffaserverstärktem Epoxidharz mit Lagenaufbauten aus 0°-unidirektionalen und gewebeverstärkten Einzellagen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse der experimentellen strukturdynamischen Untersuchungen dienen schließlich der Validierung des analytischen Modells und der numerischen Berechnungen. Die dämpfungserhöhende Wirkung der identifizierten mesomechanischen Kinematik wird schließlich in Abhängigkeit des eingeführten Grades der Ondulation Õ quantifiziert.
Purpose:
The present work deals with the experimental investigation concerning the energy dissipation capacity of different kinds of reinforcement fibres in monolithic and hybrid layups under high velocity impact loads. 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.
This paper deals with experimental investigations concerning energy dissipation capacity of different kinds of reinforcement fibres in monolithic and hybrid layups under high-velocity impact loads. The investigated kinds of fibres are carbon, glass and basalt fibres. Therefore test panels, using the same thermoset resin, were built up and cured by autoclave processing. The fibre volume content of the test panels has been determined. Furthermore the influence of a separating layer at selected positions in the hybrid stacked panels was investigated. The results show the influence and the energy dissipation capacity of each single kind of fibre
and the enhanced properties for the hybrid layups by hybrid stacking sequences and the use of a separating core material.
A parametric characterization of a mesomechanic kinematic caused by ondulation in fabric reinforced composites is investigated by analytical and numerical investigations. Due to the definition of plain representative sequences of balanced plain-weave fabric reinforced single layers based on sines the variable geometric parameters are the amplitude and the length of the ondulation. The mesomechanic kinematic can be observed in both the analytic model and the FE-analyses. The analytic model yields hyperbolic correlations due to the strongly simplifying presumptions that neglect elasticity. In contrast the FE-analyses yield linear correlations in much smaller amounts due to the consideration of elastic parts, yet distinctly.
Purpose:
A review regarding the acting mechanisms of structural dynamic material damping in fabric reinforced composites is presented. 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.
