The purpose of this work aims to assess the failure of different composite materials subjected to a bending load, using the progressive damage approach. Puck’s failure criteria and gradual degradation model have been used to simulate the initial and the successive damage, respectively. A user-defined material (UMAT) subroutine has been developed and implemented through finite element software Abaqus. Moreover, the effect of geometrical parameters is performed and identified by the experimental protocol. The predicted results obtained by this numerical modelling show a good correlation with the findings of the experimental test.","PeriodicalId":20245,"journal":{"name":"Plastics, Rubber and Composites","volume":"15 1","pages":"531 - 549"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88875227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of functionalization and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on the thermal properties of PMMA/p-SWCNT nanocomposites were investigated. Samples were characterised using BET, FTIR-ATR, SEM, DTA/TG, DSC, TEM and AFM. Morphological analyses showed that changes in the structure of SWCNTs with modification occurred and CNTs were tubular structure, homogeneously dispersed and nano-sized. Functionalised SWCNTs increased the first mass loss (Tmax1), the second mass loss (Tmax2) and glass transition temperatures (Tg) of PMMA. SDS assisted both better dispersion of CNTs and interaction between PMMA and CNTs. While PMMA/p-SWCNT-OH (0.1 wt.%) had the highest thermal stability in SDS-free medium, PMMA/SDS/p-SWCNT-O-APTS (0.1 wt.%) had the highest thermal stability in SDS medium. The maximum increases at Tmax1 and Tmax2 temperatures of nanocomposites were calculated as 49 and 13°C for PMMA/SDS/p-SWCNT-O-APTS (0.1 wt.%), respectively.","PeriodicalId":20245,"journal":{"name":"Plastics, Rubber and Composites","volume":"52 1","pages":"516 - 530"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78485551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modulus of composite samples linearly increased with an increasing amount of RWF. The creep behaviour test with load levels at 20, 30, and 40% of the ultimate flexural strength were conducted for 1000 h. The deflection of the composites at the same load levels of rPP gave the higher creep behaviour (2.45, 4.65, and 6.68 mm) than that of WPCs (1.53, 2.41, and 3.37 mm), respectively. Six-element for determining Burger model parameters was well fitted with the long-term creep of WPCs, this deflection result was compared to four-element Burger and Power law models.

In addition to the role of filler loading, structure, and morphology, various types of functionalization are required to improve the incorporation of the fillers in the rubber matrix.

First, a quasi-static compression test was performed on constant thickness negative stiffness (CTNS) honeycomb and FGNS honeycomb. Then, these two structures’ FE models were simulated. The stress relaxation test was utilised to derive Prony series coefficients for PA12 viscoelastic properties. The results of viscoelastic simulation for CTNS and FGNS honeycombs were then compared with experimental results. The comparison demonstrated a good agreement in both the loading and unloading stages. Furthermore, the critical parameters for evaluating the structural energy absorption of the FGNS honeycomb and the conventional ones were used in this study.

The surface roughness of modified CF was significantly improved by the SEM experiment. The effectiveness of grafting was verified by FTIR and XPS, and the chemical functional groups on the surface of modified CF were increased. The microstructure of the failure interface of the composites was observed, the modification did not reduce the tensile strength of CF, and the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of modified CF/ epoxy resin composite was increased by 39.91%.
