Abstract
Abstract Epoxy matrix with high modulus was synergistically designed by organic amide acid (AA) and inorganic nano silica (SiO2) as well as stiffened interphase of carbon fiber composite, and the effects of matrix modulus on longitudinal compressive strength and failure mechanism of composites were investigated. The elastic and shear modulus of matrix was enhanced by increased chemical cross-linking cites of AA and mechanical restraint of SiO2, contributing to improved interfacial properties from the construction of modulus intermedia layer in carbon fiber composite. Using combination model of elastic-buckling and plastic-kinking models, compressive strength of composites was simulated and predicted, which showed a close agreement to measured results and positive relationship with matrix modulus. Schematic mechanism of compression failure in CFRP composites were proposed, and stiffened matrix and favorable interphase could restrict fiber-buckling and facilitate kink-band formation to avoid interface delamination during elastic-plastic process, resulting in increased ultimate compressive strength.

Abstract The low compressive strength of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has been one of the critical problems limiting their applications. The compressive damage behaviors of FRP composites are much more complicated than their tensile failure behaviors, usually including different modes, such as delamination and kink-band instability, thereby throwing a great challenge to increase the compressive strength of FRP composites by maneuvering the compressive damage mode. However, limited n...

Abstract The compressive fracture aspect for the thick quasi-isotropic carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates was investigated using a high-speed camera to clarify the progress of the brooming fracture. The compressive fracture types of the laminates could be classified into two groups, i.e., the fractures initiating from the innermost 0 ∘ ply and those initiating from the fixed sections of the specimen. The standard deviation of the compressive strength for the innermost 0 ∘ ply-initi...

Abstract This study investigates the failure mechanisms of cross-ply laminates subjected to longitudinal compressive loading. A sequence of failure initiation and propagation process is observed based on optical microscopy images of failed specimens. Specifically, the failure process in the cross-ply laminates involves a combination of four failure mechanisms: fiber kinking, delamination, matrix cracking, and fiber/matrix splitting. We find that the kink-bands in the middle 0° plies of the cross...

Abstract Kink-band nucleation and propagation has been monitored over time in three dimensions (3D) by time-lapse X-ray computed tomography (CT) in the compressive zone of a blunt notched unidirectional (UD) T800 carbon fibre/epoxy composite under in situ four-point bending (FPB). The kink bands that develop from micro-buckling are classified into two types, namely type 1 and type 2 by analogy with Euler buckling. Type 1 (shear) kink bands accommodate a lateral displacement of the fibres either ...

Abstract Selectively dispersed functional nanoparticles within one phase or at the phase interface in polymer composites with co-continuous morphology is the most effective way to reduce the percolation threshold of the nanoparticles. In this study, amino-modified nanosilica particles (mSiO2) have been selectively localized at the interface of the PS/PA6/mSiO2 composites with co-continuous morphology via reactive extrusion. Styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) with different maleic anhydride (MAH) con...

Abstract In this paper, the lateral disturbance (loading imperfection) is considered as another new external factor which causes compression instability of composite besides fiber misalignment (structure imperfection). Four typical stages of the unidirectional fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites compression instability are established: uniform compression, elastic instability, plastic deformation and plastic instability in which some suggestions on material performance that can be delayed ...

Abstract This study investigates the failure mechanisms of notched unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates subjected to longitudinal compressive loading. A sequence of failure initiation and propagation is observed based on optical microscopy images of specimens during failure. The micrographs reveal that the main failure mechanism in UD laminates is fiber kinking failure. The influence of manufacturing defects and voids on fiber kinking mechanisms is also analyzed. ...

Abstract Analysis of the fibre dominated properties of composite materials typically assumes, often implicitly, the perfect alignment of fibres. Increasingly, however, it is acknowledged that waviness (in-plane misalignment) and wrinkling (out-of-plane misalignment) play an important role in both manufacturing and structural response. In this paper, a previously developed experimental method to measure fibre misalignment has been improved and extended to also determine fibre excess length. Resul...

Abstract Tailored-modulus epoxy matrix was designed on basis of surface analysis of high-modulus carbon fibers (HMCF), and the effects of modulus intermediate layer on interfacial and mechanical properties of HMCF composites were investigated. Narrow grooves and active functional groups were detected on HMCF surface. The modulus of epoxy was tuned by stiff organic molecular structure of cycloaliphatic epoxy (CE) and amide acid (AA). Modulus intermediate layer was established along with modulus g...

Abstract The fractographic aspects of compression failures remain inadequately explored, mainly due to the damages that the compressive load promotes on the fracture surfaces, which difficult the identification of fracture aspects. In addition, despite the large quantity of studies on the literature, there is no consensus concerning the existing compressive failure modes. Aiming to contribute in this research field, this paper has the objective of proposing a novel classification for the compres...
