Multi-scale modelling of composite material systems Predictive modelling provides the opportunity both to understand better how composites behave in different conditions and to develop materials with enhanced performance for particular industrial applications. This important book focuses on the fundamental understanding of composite materials at the microscopic scale, from designing micro-structural features, to the predictive equations of the functional behaviour of the structure for a specific end-application. Chapters discuss stress and temperature-related behavioural phenomena based on knowledge of physics of microstructure and microstructural change over time. This study covers impact response, damage tolerance and failure of fibrereinforced composite materials and structures. Materials development, analysis and prediction of structural behaviour and cost-effective design all have a bearing on the impact response of composites and this book brings together for the first time the most comprehensive and up-to-date research work from leading international experts. Testing of composite materials can present complex problems but is essential in order to ensure the reliable, safe and cost-effective performance of any engineering structure. Mechanical testing of advanced fibre composites describes a wide range of test methods which can be applied to various types of advanced fibre composites. The book focuses on high modulus, high strength fibre/plastic composites and also covers highly anisotropic materials such as carbon, aramid and glass.

Delamination Behaviour of Composites

SummaryDelamination is an important concern in the context of structural behaviour of laminated composite materials. It is known that delamination can diminish the stiffness and the strength of the material and promote structural failure. Delamination onset and growth is governed by interlaminar fracture toughness of the material. Delamination propagation is frequently dominated by mode II fracture; consequently interlaminar fracture characterization under mode II loading is fundamental to accurately predict the susceptibility of the material to delamination. However, there are several problems inherent to the usual tests employed for mode II interlaminar fracture characterization, e.g., unstable crack propagation and difficulties in crack monitoring during propagation.These issues are discussed in section 1.In section 2 the most popular fracture characterization tests in mode II are presented. A brief description of each one is given, with emphasis on the advantages and drawbacks thereof. The application of the classical data reduction schemes to each test is also described in section 2.1. After a succinct bibliographic review it is concluded that the End Notched Flexure (ENF) and End Loaded Split (ELS) tests are the most suitable ones to fracture characterization of composites in mode II. However, the dependence of 2 measured G IIc on the crack length measurements for those tests is emphasized. In order to overcome this serious disadvantage a new data reduction scheme based only on the specimen compliance is proposed in section 2.2. The method is applied with little differences to the ENF and ELS tests and provides a straightforward measurement of G IIc . Moreover, the method also includes the Fracture Process Zone (FPZ) effect, which was verified to be non negligible under mode II loading. In section 2.3 the referred tests were numerically simulated using a cohesive mixed-mode damage model. Appropriate values of critical strain energy release rates in mode I, II and III respectively, were inputted in the model. The main objective was to verify the capacity of the proposed methodology on the replication of the introduced G IIc . Excellent agreement was obtained for the two tests. The ENF test was proposed as the most suitable for the determination of G IIc owing to its simplicity.In section 3 the dynamic fracture characterization is discussed. The difficulties inherent in the conduct of experimental tests execution are highlighted. The determination of the dynamic fracture toughness of composites is useful when dynamic delamination propagation is the predominant failure mode. Several works of different authors are summarized. One of the remarkable points is related to the existence of a crack speed threshold value, below which the dynamic and quasi-static toughness values are similar.The majority of the authors indicate that fracture toughness tends to decrease with increasing crack speed.The main conclusions of this contribution are summarized in section 4.

In the present paper, the influence of carbon nanofiber on interlaminar fracture toughness of CFRP investigated using MMB(Mixed Mode Bending) tests. Vapor grown carbon fiber VGCF and VGCF-S, and multi walled carbon nanotube MWNT-7 has been employed for the toughener of the interlayer on the CFRP laminates. In order to evaluate the fracture toughness and mixed mode ratio of it, double cantilever beam (DCB) tests, end notched fracture (ENF) tests and mixed mode bending (MMB) tests has been carried out. Boundary element analyses was applied to the CFRP model to compute the interlaminar fracture toughness, where extrapolation method was used to determine the fracture toughness and mixed mode ratio. The interlaminar fracture toughness and mixed mode ratio can be extrapolated by stress distribution at the vicinity of the crack tip of the CFRP laminate. It was found that the interlaminar fracture toughness of the CFRP laminates was improved inserting the interlayer made by carbon nanofiber especially in the region where shear mode deformation is dominant.
