Abstract
This paper experimentally investigates the fatigue behavior and failure mechanism of a quasi-three-dimensional woven composite (Q3DWC) under combined high and low cycle fatigue loading (CCF) for the first time. In this study, to develop a composite with high tensile strength and sufficient delamination resistance, a Q3DWC structure is firstly designed. Then, a novel biaxial experimental platform, including the longitudinal tensile system, the lateral excitation system, and the dynamic signal monitoring system, is established. Based on this platform, a comprehensive analysis, including fatigue life, stiffness degradation, energy dissipation, and fracture morphology, is conducted. Results indicate that the superimposed high cycle fatigue (HCF) significantly reduces the fatigue life when compared to low cycle fatigue (LCF) life. Stiffness degradation and energy dissipation are obtained by hysteresis loops, showing that the entire fatigue process is mainly divided into three stages. Moreover, fracture morphologies are analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), indicating more severe fiber pull-out and fiber/matrix debonding due to the introduction of HCF vibration. Finally, the probable damage evolution under LCF and CCF loading is discussed separately. This study provides valuable references for the design and safe application of composites under CCF loading.
