Abstract
Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymers (HFRP) have excellent mechanical properties. However, preparation with 3D-printing technology is prone to hydrothermal aging compared to conventional method. Currently, complex hygrothermal aging and degradation mechanisms of 3D-printed HFRP are still unclear. Thus, hygrothermal aging and durability prediction of 3D-printed HFRP with continuous carbon/Kevlar-fiber and short carbon-fiber are studied, which considers four typical stacking sequences. All experimental samples are manufactured by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D-printing. The artificial accelerate aging testing is conducted on samples at different times, and then flexural testing is adopted to evaluate the residual mechanical properties and failure modes. The results show that the stacking sequence significantly influences the moisture absorption behaviors, and [OC4O2K4]S absorbed more moisture than [OK4O2C4]S. During the aging process, the flexural properties of the 3D-printed HFRP first decrease rapidly and then keep stable. Among them, [OK4O2C4]S have the fastest degradation but possessed the highest residual strength. OC8O4K8O possess the slowest degradation but have a lower residual strength. The morphologies and micro failure modes/mechanisms are analyzed to explain the significant mechanical degradation. Finally, the Arrhenius relationship is adopted to accurately predict and analyze the degradation evolution process of specimens. This work offers a novel perspective on the hygrothermal aging and durability of 3D-printed HFRP.
期刊介绍:
Engineering Failure Analysis publishes research papers describing the analysis of engineering failures and related studies.
Papers relating to the structure, properties and behaviour of engineering materials are encouraged, particularly those which also involve the detailed application of materials parameters to problems in engineering structures, components and design. In addition to the area of materials engineering, the interacting fields of mechanical, manufacturing, aeronautical, civil, chemical, corrosion and design engineering are considered relevant. Activity should be directed at analysing engineering failures and carrying out research to help reduce the incidences of failures and to extend the operating horizons of engineering materials.
Emphasis is placed on the mechanical properties of materials and their behaviour when influenced by structure, process and environment. Metallic, polymeric, ceramic and natural materials are all included and the application of these materials to real engineering situations should be emphasised. The use of a case-study based approach is also encouraged.
Engineering Failure Analysis provides essential reference material and critical feedback into the design process thereby contributing to the prevention of engineering failures in the future. All submissions will be subject to peer review from leading experts in the field.
