Then, a special fixture and constraint condition are set up to take the quasi-static tensile test with high reliability. Moreover, it is demonstrated that the T-joints structures may decrease their bearing capacity, resulting in interlaminar delamination at the corner region. Further, to strengthen the T-joints, the bolts are employed to effectively prevent the initiation and propagation of interlaminar delamination in the tensile loading. At the same time, as their enhancement and failure mechanisms are revealed deeply, the strengthening method is optimized as well.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"466 - 472"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49165592","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}

However, traditional methods for measuring fiber or filament diameters focus on estimating the arithmetic mean data, and only part of the diameter data can be obtained. Additionally, most of these traditional methods require complex sample preparations, such as by making cross-sectional slice samples. This study intends to present a simple method for measuring almost all of the monofilament diameters in a single yarn. It is not necessary to make slice samples. After the yarn sample or fabric sample is taken and prepared, synthetic laser images can be obtained directly by scanning the cross section of the sample with a 3D laser scanning confocal microscope. According to the results of many experiments, more than 90% of the monofilament diameters of a single yarn can be measured. The result also shows that the difference in the diameter data between the traditional method and the synthetic laser imaging method is less than 2%. This method presents the differences between the majority of monofilament diameters, and the yarn clustering property can be evaluated by the sum of the monofilament diameters and the yarn cross-sectional area.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"312 - 321"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45591479","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}

To apply the already approved composite materials to other processes, an equivalency test that compares the mechanical properties of the composite materials based on the database is required. For the successful completion of the equivalency test, it is important to control the factors affecting the mechanical properties. The resin content and density of the specimens are manufactured differently according to the process. The effect of these factors on the change of mechanical properties required for equivalency qualification has not been sufficiently reported. In this study, an equivalency test was performed on the GFRP applied to the aircraft radome based on the procedure of the equivalency test and acceptance test proposed by the National Center for Advanced Materials Performance. The causes of problems occurring between equivalency tests were analyzed. It was confirmed that the resin content, density, and voids of the specimen affect the mechanical properties. As the resin content decreases, the density and voids were controlled, and it was confirmed that the average strength and modulus increase by 13.12 and 6.78%, respectively. The equivalency qualification was completed by applying an improved process in which these factors were controlled.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"403 - 411"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47771027","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}

To investigate the effect of interphase on composite elastic modulus, a representative volume element (RVE) of unidirectional CFRP with inhomogeneous interphase was established. Based on the bridging model, a theoretical calculation method of composite elastic modulus was given. The elastic modulus of T300/BSL914C composites was obtained by the theoretical method. Results are in good agreement with the finite element method and experimental data. Four types of interphase models were given including inhomogeneous transversely isotropic, inhomogeneous isotropic, homogeneous transversely isotropic, and homogeneous isotropic. The results demonstrate that interphase type has an influence on the prediction of CFRP composites’ elastic modulus. With the increase of thickness, the prediction error of elastic modulus caused by interphase type increases rapidly. Furthermore, the relationship between composite elastic modulus and interphase thickness and stiffness is analyzed. With the increase in thickness, the changes in shear modulus G 12 and Poisson’s ratio ν23 are more evident than in other elastic properties, and with the enhancement of interphase stiffness, the increase of G 12 is the most significant.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"452 - 465"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45778696","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 12 materials of blast-furnace slag (BFS), fly ash (FA), and kaolin on the properties and microstructure of inorganic binders were systematically studied and analyzed. As a result, the compressive strength of BFS-2, FA-1, and FA-2 binder was increased by 10.0, 6.0, and 1.5%, and the flexural strength was increased by 44.8, 79.2, and 1.3%, respectively. It was worth noting that BFS and FA could effectively promote hydration reactions due to active materials and boost the growth of C–S–H and CH, leading to the inorganic binder forming a stable structure. Thus, this work systematically designs and prepares inorganic binders with high compressive strength and excellent flexural strength. This reveals how inorganic materials affect the properties of inorganic binders on the microstructure and offer a new idea for the development of this field.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"335 - 345"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45030984","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 microstructures inside composites and Z-pinned composites after moisture conditions and three-point flexural test were detected using X-ray μCT and optical microscope. It illustrates that the moisture content of Z-pinned composites is higher due to the rich-resin pocket brought by the implantation of Z-pin. The cracks are obvious inside Z-pinned composites after moisture-coupled load conditions. It is attributed to the implantation of each pin which is the weak point for stress concentration and crack formation. Failure morphologies on the surface of composites and Z-pinned composites are different under different moisture conditions. Less macro-interlayer cracks are detected on the surface of Z-pinned composites, and plenty of microcracks initiating from pins are observed.","PeriodicalId":21480,"journal":{"name":"Science and Engineering of Composite Materials","volume":"29 1","pages":"206 - 214"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43633657","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}
