Two different multi-directional laminates have been designed incorporating UD carbon/epoxy plies embedded in angle-ply blocks of the same material. The scissoring deformation of the angle-plies induces compression in the central UD layers when the composite is strained in the 0° fibre direction. The amount of transverse compressive stress is determined through an inverse identification method from the measured surface strains of the laminates. Despite the large in-plane transverse compressive strain generated, there is only about 9% drop in the failure strain of the laminates when compared to the baseline failure strain of the UD carbon/epoxy material.","PeriodicalId":337735,"journal":{"name":"American Society for Composites 2018","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126992011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A viscodamage model, which can rigorously handle damage anisotropy, distinct tensile and compressive damage behavior, and damage deactivation, is developed to produce stress-dependent fatigue damage evolution. An affine formulation governing damage evolution, and a closed-form formulation of the constitutive relations is derived based on the viscodamage model. An adaptive stepsize control and cycle jump time integration scheme is proposed and implemented to improve the present model’s efficiency in cyclic loading conditions. Through uniaxial cyclic loading simulations, the present model and time integration scheme is found to be capable of reliably and efficiently producing cyclic damage evolution. This model can be further calibrated to facilitate both uniaxial and multiaxial fatigue analysis in composite materials.","PeriodicalId":337735,"journal":{"name":"American Society for Composites 2018","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127068845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Goldberg","doi":"10.12783/ASC33/25997","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.12783/ASC33/25997","url":null,"abstract":"Significant local temperature rises often accompany the high rate deformation of polymer matrix composites. In the case of impact loading, heat is generated locally within the polymer matrix due to plastic dissipation, but the rapid nature of the loading precludes significant heat transfer from occurring; ballistic impact loading can therefore be regarded as fully adiabatic. In this paper, the development of a synergistic multiscale approach to simulate the architecturally dependent impact response of polymer matrix composites with complex fiber tow architectures is presented and applied to a representative triaxially braided composite material system. To approximate the heterogeneity of the composite braid architecture at the highest analysis length scale, a subcell-based approach is utilized whereby the mesoscale repeating unit cell of the material is discretized in-plane into an assemblage of laminated composite subcell regions, with stacking sequences determined from the braid architecture. Each unidirectional layer of the laminated composite subcells are modeled with the generalized method of cells micromechanics theory, where a nonisothermal viscoplastic constitutive model is employed to model the rate, temperature, and pressure dependent polymer matrix. Matrix temperature rises due to inelastic deformation are computed. in matrix elastic properties are determined from neat resin dynamic mechanical analysis data. The commercial transient dynamic finite element code LS-DYNA is utilized to conduct simulations of quasi-static coupon tests and flat panel impact tests performed on a T700/PR520 [0°/60°/–60°] triaxially braided composite. Good agreement is found between simulations and experiments. It is expected that, once progressive damage and failure are incorporated into the multiscale scheme, the incorporation of adiabatic heating affects will greatly improve the predictive capability of current models.","PeriodicalId":337735,"journal":{"name":"American Society for Composites 2018","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127160399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Apart from these thermo-mechanical properties, molecular dynamics is also a powerful tool to examine the durability of polymers with potential aerospace applications under harsh environmental conditions. Ultraviolent radiation from the sun results in dissociation of molecular oxygen into atomic oxygen (AO) which is abundant in lower earth orbit. Testing composites under AO impact requires an extensive experimental setup to simulate low earth orbit (LEO) conditions and is therefore expensive. Using a newly developed accelerated cross-linking methodology in the framework of ReaxFF, bisphenol F and diethyltoluenediamine epoxy polymer chains are manufactured virtually. This simulated polymer is virtually tested for modulus, glass transition temperature, density and is impacted by atomic oxygen at 8 km/s. Thermomechanical properties show good agreement between experiments and simulations. Simulations the polymer during AO impact using ReaxFF provides useful insight to the degradation mechanism in terms of polymer chemistry and thermal profile.","PeriodicalId":337735,"journal":{"name":"American Society for Composites 2018","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127219191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
