Abstract

Composite materials are known for their excellent mechanical properties, but their fatigue damage behavior is complex and challenging to characterize. In order to investigate the fatigue behavior of carbon fiber/epoxy plain-woven composites, a novel testing method is proposed by integrating low-frequency cycles into regular fatigue cycles, enabling precise capture of strain field evolution during fatigue by 3D digital image correlation (3D-DIC). Quantitative characterization methods for typical damage modes are established by combining displacement and strain data from 3D-DIC. The results of fatigue experiments reveal the fatigue damage process for the first time of plain-woven composites, which consists of five stages: initial weft yarn cracking, warp-weft separation, interlayer delamination, reduced load transfer, and final failure. These findings enhance the understanding of fatigue behavior in woven composites, and are of great significance for their anti-fatigue design.

期刊介绍： Typical subjects discussed in International Journal of Fatigue address: Novel fatigue testing and characterization methods (new kinds of fatigue tests, critical evaluation of existing methods, in situ measurement of fatigue degradation, non-contact field measurements) Multiaxial fatigue and complex loading effects of materials and structures, exploring state-of-the-art concepts in degradation under cyclic loading Fatigue in the very high cycle regime, including failure mode transitions from surface to subsurface, effects of surface treatment, processing, and loading conditions Modeling (including degradation processes and related driving forces, multiscale/multi-resolution methods, computational hierarchical and concurrent methods for coupled component and material responses, novel methods for notch root analysis, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, crack growth kinetics, life prediction and durability, and prediction of stochastic fatigue behavior reflecting microstructure and service conditions) Models for early stages of fatigue crack formation and growth that explicitly consider microstructure and relevant materials science aspects Understanding the influence or manufacturing and processing route on fatigue degradation, and embedding this understanding in more predictive schemes for mitigation and design against fatigue Prognosis and damage state awareness (including sensors, monitoring, methodology, interactive control, accelerated methods, data interpretation) Applications of technologies associated with fatigue and their implications for structural integrity and reliability. This includes issues related to design, operation and maintenance, i.e., life cycle engineering Smart materials and structures that can sense and mitigate fatigue degradation Fatigue of devices and structures at small scales, including effects of process route and surfaces/interfaces.
