Abstract
This study investigated the variability in mechanical behavior and notch sensitivity of nylon/glass fiber woven organosheets, offering vital insights for woven thermoplastic composite material design. Combining experimental analyses and advanced computational modeling through the continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model, the study examines the tensile properties and failure mechanisms of the 2/2 twill woven organosheet. The CDM model accurately predicts unnotched tensile behavior, identifying key damage modes. Additionally, the study explores the hole size effect in open hole tension (OHT) configurations, utilizing both experimental and CDM results to calibrate the analytical modified point stress criterion (MPSC) model. The analytical notch sensitivity curves derived from both experimental and computational methods closely align, demonstrating the viability of virtual testing for OHT characterization. Furthermore, the research investigates the effect of local meso-structure of 2/2 twill weave on strength variability.
期刊介绍:
Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing is a comprehensive journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, case studies, short communications, and letters covering various aspects of composite materials science and technology. This includes fibrous and particulate reinforcements in polymeric, metallic, and ceramic matrices, as well as 'natural' composites like wood and biological materials. The journal addresses topics such as properties, design, and manufacture of reinforcing fibers and particles, novel architectures and concepts, multifunctional composites, advancements in fabrication and processing, manufacturing science, process modeling, experimental mechanics, microstructural characterization, interfaces, prediction and measurement of mechanical, physical, and chemical behavior, and performance in service. Additionally, articles on economic and commercial aspects, design, and case studies are welcomed. All submissions undergo rigorous peer review to ensure they contribute significantly and innovatively, maintaining high standards for content and presentation. The editorial team aims to expedite the review process for prompt publication.
