Experimental investigation on multi-layered filament wound basalt/E-glass hybrid fiber composite tubes

Abstract

In this study, the mechanical damage of Basalt/E-glass hybrid fiber-reinforced polymer composite tubes was evaluated experimentally using Micro hardness on transverse direction, uni-directional static tensile loading, and Quasi-static compressive loading. The Burn-off test method has been studied for the volumetric fraction of hybrid composite tubes. The multi-layer hybrid composite tubes composed of eight layers of plies at constant fiber tension of 20N, a constant mandrel rotation speed of 45 RPM and constant winding angle of ±55° for basalt fiber and ±90° for E-glass fiber were fabricated through a 3-axis filament winding machine with a seamless amalgamation of the stage by stage curing in the furnace. Eleven tube arrangements with fiber content proportion of {100%,25:75%, 50:50% and 75:25%} with various stacking sequence were studied. The test results provide that these mechanical property’s behavior was moderately affected by the proportion of fiber content and most of the time affected by the variation of layer stacking sequence. Adding 50% of basalt and 50% E-glass fiber sharing of BGH7 hybrid combination of basalt laminate placed in the outer side increases the mechanical characterization compared to the 25% and 75% sharing of basalt and E-glass fiber. The fractured fibrous matrix of the tensile specimens and compressive specimens was assessed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Study on progressive damage performance of basalt‐fiber wound composite tube

“…The experiments were conducted on an MTS electrohydraulic servo tester with displacement-controlled Tensile tests were conducted on axial specimens Z1 $ Z3 with a loading rate of 2 mm/min. [12] The broken specimen is shown in Figure 6A. The structural layer peels between fiber layers with a jagged fracture surface.…”

“…Winding pattern, as a main factor influencing carrying ability of the FW pipe, has attracted many research interests. [ 12 ] Lisboa et al [ 13 ] discussed the effect of winding pattern on strength, stiffness, absorbed energy, and failure mechanism of FW composite cylinders under radial compression. The results showed the pattern influenced bearing load and absorbed energy strongly, whereas stiffness slightly.…”
