Abstract:
Carbon/epoxy laminates are receiving greater attention by the infrastructure, marine, and offshore oil industries due to the need for superior performance capabilities. Such applications generally involve subjecting materials to harsh temperature and moisture conditions. The objective of this study was to provide a greater understanding of how temperature and moisture affect the strength and fatigue behavior of carbon/epoxy composites and the issues involved in modeling these effects. Results from thermal analysis and quasi-static testing on neat resin and unidirectional laminates as a function of temperature and moisture are presented which provide insight into how material properties vary with temperature and moisture and form the inputs necessary to evaluate composite strength and damage models. Fatigue life and damage accumulation testing results provide further insight into the effects of temperature and moisture and also provide a means for model validation. Generally, composite strength was found to be compromised by temperature but enhanced with moisture, while fatigue life was reduced by both temperature and moisture. Crack density with fatigue cycles was found to decrease with temperature but increase for immersed fatigue. Testing also revealed discrepancies between the edge replication and radiography methods for determining crack density. The analytical phase of the work considered a composite strength model and a damage evolution model to predict crack density. The composite strength model was found to provide an accurate dry, room temperature prediction which could be extended to an accurate prediction of wet specimen strength, but the results at elevated temperature fell conservative. The validation of the damage model proved inconclusive as it was found that the results are very sensitive to quantities such as thermal residual stresses and first ply failure. Currently, no reliable methods are available in the literature to determine these values accurately. However, the model was able to predict the decrease in crack density at elevated temperatures. The increase in crack density for immersed fatigue was not predicted. Overall, the study revealed that a more basic understanding of "in-situ" ply properties are needed before one can consider the use of predictive models in practical applications, especially in varying environments.

Abstract:
L’étude sur le renforcement ou la réparation des structures en béton armé par collage de matériaux composites sont largement effectuée depuis plus de deux décennies. Les avantages mécaniques et physiques sur la résistance à la flexion, la résistance au cisaillement, le comportement mécanique, la durabilité, l’efficacité du renforcement ont bien approuvés. Les méthodes du renforcement par les matériaux composites peuvent être distinguées comme le renforcement interne, le renforcement externe et le renforcement hybride. Dans ce travail, les poutres en béton hybride armé ont été étudiées. Le renforcement en flexion est assuré par les matériaux en acier et en matériaux composites, plaque en CFRP. Deux modes de liaison entre la surface du béton et la surface de la plaque en CFRP sont proposées : liaison directe et liaison à l’aide d’une couche de résine époxyde. Dans cette étude, trois séries différentes de poutres renforcées hybrides ont été utilisées: une liaison directe entre les deux matériaux, la seconde avec une liaison adhésive entre les deux matériaux et la dernière avec une liaison spécifique. Les performances mécaniques de ces poutres, comportement mécanique, modes de rupture, charge ultime, charge correspondant aux premières fissures dans le béton, charge correspondant à la plastification de l'acier longitudinal et l’influence de l'adhérence entre la surface du béton et la surface du CFRP plaque ont été analysés. La méthode numérique par éléments finis a également été utilisée pour analyser les performances mécaniques des poutres. Les résultats apportent de nouvelles connaissances sur les avantages mécaniques des poutres en béton hybride armé
The study on strengthening or repairing reinforced concrete structures by bonding composite materials has been widely carried out for more than two decades. The mechanical and physical advantages on flexural strength, shear strength, mechanical behaviour, durability, reinforcement efficiency have been well approved. The methods of reinforcement by composite materials can be distinguished as internal reinforcement, external reinforcement and hybrid reinforcement. In this work, the hybrid reinforced concrete beams were studied. Reinforcement in bending is provided by steel and composite materials, CFRP plate. Two bonding methods between the concrete surface and the CFRP plate surface are proposed: direct bonding and bonding using an epoxy resin layer. In this study, three different series of hybrid-reinforced beams were used: a direct bond between the two materials, the second with an adhesive bond between the two materials and the last with a specific bond. The mechanical performance of these beams, mechanical behaviour, failure modes, ultimate load, load corresponding to the first cracks in the concrete, load corresponding to the plasticization of the longitudinal steel and the influence of the adhesion between the concrete surface and the surface of the CFRP plate were analysed. The numerical finite element method was also used to analyse the mechanical performance of the beams. The results provide new knowledge on the mechanical advantages of hybrid reinforced concrete beams

Abstract:
Complicated structures made of fibre reinforced laminates will suffer the failure of delamination which is the main through-thickness failure mode and is usually caused by the combined through-thickness stress state. Three tests, namely the oblique test, the waisted C-specimen test and the notched beam test, have been developed to reveal the failure activities under the combined stress state of in-plane normal stress, through-thickness normal stress and interlaminar shear, and, as a part of the big project, to establish a 3-D failure map in the coordinates of the three stress components. All tests have been analyzed either numerically by FEM or experimentally by Moire interferometry technique. The experimental results have shown that the failure behaviours of laminates are far more complicated than and very different from the traditional metallic materials which can usually be described by phenomenological failure criteria. The phenomenological criteria attempt has been tried and further confirmed that a full experimental understanding is the most important. Moreover, fractographic analysis by SEM has also been conducted to support the test results. Finally the Weibull statistics method has been used to treat the stress gradient effect in the different test geometries while establishing the failure map. It has proved to be a very efficient instrument.

Abstract:
Center-notched and unnotched specimens cut from Celion 3000/PMR15 woven composite panels with 60% fiber volume fraction were tested under quasi-static compressive load to failure at room temperature. Micrographic evidence clearly identifies the mode of compressive failure as fiber kinking. Each fiber in the kink fractures because of a combination of compressive and shear stresses. A post failure mechanism follows the local fiber bundle failures, which completely deforms the material by large cracks. ln center notched specimens, fiber kinks start from the notch and propagate to some distance from the notch before the post failure takes place. The effect of bundle interactions on stresses and strains was clearly distinguished by comparing the results of the finite element analysis of a bundle surrounded by other plies to the results of the Moire interferometry on the edge of a laminate. A model was introduced which incorporated the micromechanical geometry as well as the constituent properties to predict the notched and unnotched compressive strengths of the woven material. For notched strength predictions, the Average Stress Criterion was used, and the characteristic distance was found to be a function of laminate thickness. Predicted notched and unnotched strengths correlate very well with the experimental results.

Abstract:
Modern durability and damage tolerance predictions for composite material systems rely on accurate estimates of the local stress and material states for each of the constituents, as well as the manner in which the constituents interact. In this work, an number of approaches to estimating the stress states and interactions are developed. First, an elasticity solution is presented for the problem of a penny-shaped crack in an N-phase composite material system opened by a prescribed normal pressure. The stress state around such a crack is then used to estimate the stress concentrations due to adjacent fiber fractures in a composite materials. The resulting stress concentrations are then used to estimate the tensile strength of the composite. The predicted results are compared with experimental values. In addition, a cumulative damage model for fatigue is presented. Modifications to the model are made to include the effects of variable amplitude loading. These modifications are based upon the use of remaining strength as a damage metric and the definition of an equivalent generalized time. The model is initially validated using results from the literature. Also, experimental data from APC-2 laminates and IM7/K3B laminates are used in the model. The use of such data for notched laminates requires the use of an effective hole size, which is calculated based upon strain distribution measurements. Measured remaining strengths after fatigue loading are compared with the predicted values for specimens fatigued at room temperature and 350°F (177°C).

Abstract:
Moisture diffusion studies were performed using unidirectional (UD) tape and quasiisotropic (QI) woven 5-harness satin fabric, carbon fibre reinforced (CFR) epoxy composite materials. Firstly the moisture constants, (i.e. diffusion coefficient, D[x], and equilibrium moisture content, M[max]) were experimentally derived at 70°C and 85% relative humidity (%RH), for the two CFR materials. To investigate moisture absorption as a function of %RH test coupons were conditioned to differing equilibrium moisture levels viz., 70°C/60%RH, 70°C/75%RH, 70°C/85%RH, and 70°C/95%RH. Also oven dry (OD) and as-received (AR) tests were performed for baseline comparison. The effect of moisture absorption on the mechanical behaviour was investigated; lamina properties were studied by measuring tension, compression, shear (inter/intralaminar) strength and stiffness of the UD material. This comprehensive set of testing provided quantitative relationships between moisture content and mechanical properties. The quasi-isotropic lay-up was then utilised to investigate multi-directional laminate lay-ups using open hole tension and compression testing. The experimental data showed that the uptake of moisture in both the materials studied was described well by Fick's Second Law and the properties most affected by moisture ingress were matrix-dominated properties. More specifically, the transverse tensile strength, F[t][2] was most affected by the ingress of moisture, with a near 50% reduction in strength when conditioned to equilibrium moisture content at 70°C/95%RH. Such information is a necessary prerequisite if improved design procedures are going to be developed in the future. The initial phase of testing produced mechanical property/moisture relationships that were employed to predict the strength and stiffness of the material containing specific moisture gradients through-the-thickness (TTT). To be able to predict mechanical properties with different moisture distribution, firstly moisture distribution TTT of the material was modelled using an analytical solution to Fick's Second Law. Then moisture content was considered on a ply-by-ply basis TTT of the laminate; reductions were applied to each individual ply property dependent on the moisture content using the experimentally derived relationships, essentially applying environmental knock-down factors (KEKDF'S) to each individual ply. Classical Laminate Analysis (CLA) was then performed using the Max Stress failure criteria in order to predict the overall laminate failure. A second phase of mechanical testing was then performed to validate these predictions. The mechanical property predictions compared well to the experimental data showing similar reductions in strength for a given profile of moisture in the laminate. The predicted strengths also fell within the measured standard deviation of the experimental data in a significant proportion of the results.

Abstract:
The objective of this investigation is to predict the residual strength of notched composite Iaminates with various layups, subjected to low frequency fatigue loading with constant amplitude at room temperature, by using a material modeling approach, fracture and fatigue mechanics and the finite element method (FEM). For simplicity, after thousands of cycles, the geometry of a circular hole of the deformed laminate was categorized as (1) uniformly expanded hole into elliptic shape, (2) crack propagation around the hole transversely. Both types were studied for 12 cases of layups with various proportions of 0, 45, -45 and 90 degree plies. The effect of geometry change during fatigue on residual strength was attributed to the elliptical hole, longitudinal splitting, matrix cracking (reduction moduli of plies), crack propagation and local delamination. Due to the thin through-the-thickness notched laminate, two-dimensional FEM was used and interlaminar stresses were not considered. Reduction of stress concentration is a reason for the increase of the residual strength of the notched laminate. The stress concentration factor decreases while the elliptic hole becomes more slender; that was examined by the FEM. The residual strength and stiffness were determined by the material modeling with moduli reduction and damaged zone, and the numerical result was obtained by FEM. Laminate theory, point stress criterion, polynomial failure criterion, ply discount method, and fatigue and fracture mechanics (Paris' Power Law) were also included in this research. Geometry change and moduli reduction are two major effects that are considered to predict the notched strength. The WN point stress fracture model is adopted for simplicity, instead of the average stress criterion. Ktg that corresponds to the unnotched strength in the normalized stress base curve is used to obtain the characteristic length (do). We find that Ktg decreases when the elliptic hole becomes more slender and more moduli are reduced (more plies crack). At the time do that is determined from Ktg in the base curve is not necessarily a fixed material constant. The correlation between the fatigue life and the residual strength as predicted by the model and those determined numerically is found within acceptable errors in comparison with the experimental data.

Abstract:
Joints provide a path for transfer of load and are important components in an assembly of structures, particularly in translating joint strength improvements directly to significant cost savings. This cost savings is more evident in composite joints since manufacturing of more complex single piece components results in a reduction of both part count and labor. An improvement in joint strength for co-cured composite joints through minimized free-edge delamination was investigated for quasi-isotropic [0/±45/90]s lay-up based on the quantitative assessments of the quasi-static and fatigue strength and qualitative understanding of the fatigue damage initiation and propagation for the [0/±θ/90]s family of co-cured composite joints. A previously proposed co-cured joint concept, the Single Nested Overlap (SNO) joint, was compared against a Straight Laminate (SL) and a single lap joint. The SL represents a "perfect" joint and serves as an upper bound whereas the single lap joint represents the simplest generic joint and is the base design for the SNO joint concept. Three categorized failure types, which represented predominant failure modes in the SL, single lap and SNO joints, along with two different fatigue strength indicators were used for quasi-static and fatigue strength comparison. With fatigue run-out defined at 1 x 106 cycles, the fatigue damage initiation and propagation at high loadings was monitored with an Infrared Thermoelastic Stress Analysis (IR-TSA) technique, while a damage type comparison was used at low loadings. Quasi-static Acoustic Emission (AE) counts were observed to be Fatigue Limit (FL) predictors for [0/±θ/90]s SL and SNO joints. The validity of these FL predictors were also assessed in the damage type comparison.
