Die Erforschung von faserverstärkten Kunststoffen (FVK) mit thermoplastischer Matrix ist aufgrund der Schweißeignung als Verbindungstechnologie, der thermischen Umformbarkeit, der Recyclebarkeit sowie der verkürzten Prozesszeiten im Vergleich zu den vorwiegend eingesetzten faserverstärkten Duroplasten erstrebenswert. Die Wechselwirkung zwischen den physikalischen, mechanischen und geometrischen Parametern erhöht den Komplexitätsgrad des Herstellungsprozesses. Ziel ist daher die Entwicklung einer Imprägniertechnik, die eine Fasertränkung mittels eines Thermoplastschmelzbades ermöglicht.
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.
The effect of process variables such as shear rate and temperature on the viscosity of polypropylene during the processing of thermoplastic based composites was investigated in this study. The melt impregnation is used in the process of continuous glass fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites. To develop a mathematical model for roving impregnation, it's essential to know about the viscous behaviour of the matrix system. Therefore, this paper will discuss rheological models to describe these phenomena, based on the gathered viscosity data from the partner laboratory at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen.
