Various studies have been reported to complement the brittle fracture of epoxy matrix. Conventional methods of fabricating toughened carbon/epoxy composite laminates were thermo-plastic veils and films interleaving methods, directly toughening the matrix resin and dispersing nanoparticles in the matrix. In this study, the carbon/epoxy composites laminates were manufactured using carbon fiber/polyamide fiber braided fabrics. The chemical interactions between polyamide and epoxy matrix resin were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, which resulted in ring opening of the epoxide group by the amide group. The compression after impact strength and the interlaminar toughness of the carbon/epoxy composite laminate were increased by 31%, and the strain energy release rates were increased by 120% compared to the virgin interface composite. In the case of carbon/epoxy composite laminates interlaced with polyamide fibers, the mechanical properties, such as the tensile strength and fatigue properties, were improved as tensile modulus decreased.","PeriodicalId":55551,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/0963693520906162","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46094046","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}

An embedded debond area between the layered composite shell and the foam core is assumed as a defect. The composite shells are several plies of equal thickness Kevlar, carbon fiber composite, and E-glass composite with epoxy resin. Three different lay-ups, namely, (0°/90°/0°/90°/0°/90°), (45°/−45°/0°/90°/60°/−30°), and (60°/−30°/90°/0°/30°/90°) are considered for symmetric and asymmetric sequences. The work focuses on the importance of cohesive zone model versus the previously conducted numerical simulation and experimental results for buckling of sandwich composite structures. This enables one to account for delamination growth between shells and core and improve the correlation results with those of experiments. It has been shown that not only the cohesive model is capable of demonstrating delamination propagation, but it also correlates very well with the experimental data. By compiling user-defined cohesive mesoscale model in Abaqus simulation, the local and global buckling of the face-sheets can be precisely detected and response of sandwich structure becomes mesh independent, while mesh size is reduced.","PeriodicalId":55551,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/2633366X20910157","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41473114","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}

In this article, ice adhesion forces on composite anti-/deicing component were measured at −9.74°C, −11.58°C, −14.1°C, and −16.84°C by the proposed experiment platform, and the real ice adhesion forces under various heating parameters were measured. Through the analysis of experimental data and fitting method, the relationship between various factors and ice adhesion on composite anti-/deicing component was expounded. The influence weight of each heating parameter on the ice adhesion was analyzed. In addition, the mathematical model of ice adhesion on composite anti-/deicing component under deicing condition was established to describe the influence of deicing variables on ice adhesion in the experiments. According to the fitting function of the experimental data, the relationship between the heat consumption of composite anti-/deicing component and ice adhesion force in the process of heating is in accordance with the inverse power exponential expression, which reveals the internal relationship between ice adhesion force and energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":55551,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/2633366X20912440","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46420469","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}

Results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed that the peaks at 3532 and 2850 cm−1 relate to carboxylic acid O–H stretching and aldehyde C–H stretching appearing deeper with an increased volume fraction of SiC. Scanning electron microscopic image shows a better interface bonding between the fiber and the matrix when the volume fraction of SiC particles are increased. As frequency increases from 102 Hz to 106 Hz, dielectric constants decrease slightly. Dissipation factor (tan δ) values keep low and almost constant from 102 Hz to 104 Hz, has a slight increase after 104 Hz, and obtain relaxation peaks approximately between 105 and 106 Hz. A sharp increase in dielectric constant and dissipation factors is observed in epoxy (Ep)/CF composites with 30 vol.% of SiC. The increase in electrical conductivity of composites may result from the increased chain ordering by annealing effect. The electrical conductivities of the Ep/CF composites are decreasing with the increasing volume fraction of SiC. It is attributed to the introduction of insulating SiC. The glass transition temperature (T g) of the Ep/CF-30 vol.% SiC composite was 352 C, which was higher than other composites. The decomposition temperature at 5% weight loss, decomposition temperature at 10% weight loss, and maximum decomposition temperature of the Ep/CF-30 vol.% SiC composite were about 389.5°C, 410.7°C, and 591°C, respectively, and were higher than pure epoxy and other composites.

In this study, the interphase formation of an epoxy resin with several thermoplastic materials, namely, polyetheretherketone, polyvinylidenfluoride, polyphenylensulfide and polyetherimide (PEI), is studied via hot-stage microscope experiments. Based on this study, PEI was selected, and a detailed study was performed to determine the dependency of dissolution, diffusion and phase separation mechanisms under various isothermal conditions. Additionally, the welding behaviour was investigated by a resistance welding rig whereby the process parameters were statistically varied to optimize the lap shear strength.

In addition to the characteristics of nanomaterials, the performance of nanomaterials is also related to w/b of paste. In this work, the effect of w/b ratio on the compressive strength, hydration process, and products of calcium sulphoaluminate cement (CSA) CBGMs with and without LiAl-LDH was studied. Results indicate that with the increase of w/b from 0.6 to 1.0, the growth rate of compressive strength of CBGM paste with LiAl-LDH enhanced. Moreover, LiAl-LDH enhanced total hydration heat more effectively at a higher w/b and as the w/b increased from 0.6 to 1.0, the growth rate of hydration product boosted, which is the reason why the enhancement ratio of compressive strength of the paste was larger at high w/b.","PeriodicalId":55551,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Composites Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2020-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/2633366X20908876","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44769401","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}

It is also known that mechanical couplings that exist in unsymmetric composite can increase the instability of the composite. In this study, the SMA property has been exploited to generate recovery stress in the composite to improve its parametric instability problem. The unsymmetric composites were embedded with SMA fibres, and the formulation for the dynamic instability of this composites was developed using finite element method. The third-order shear deformation theory of composite was applied. The results were initially validated for the case of composite without SMA. Following that, the parametric instability behaviour of unsymmetric composites was studied under the effect of several parameters.
