Abstract
X-ray computed microtomography (mCT) results, using the high fluxes from a synchrotron source in conjunction with a novel application of digital volume correlation (DVC) is used to study the damage initiation mechanisms in laminated cross-ply composites. This imaging and analysis framework enables to capture 3D deformation within material volumes with high spatial resolution at macroscopic to submicroscopic scales. We present novel high-resolution experimental measurements that show the sequence by which damage is initiated in a notched composite and how damage progresses under quasi-static loading and cyclic loading conditions. These experimental results serve to develop multi-scale modeling methods that provide deformation response and fatigue life estimates accurately. Damage mechanisms and measurements at these length scales are scarce in the literature.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
