Full textThe goal of this work was to study the influence of parameters characterizing self-healing and layered matrices, which are used to improve lifetime of carbon fiber-reinforced composites. These parameters are the composition, microstructure, as well as the thermomechanical and thermochemical characteristics of each layer constitutive of the layered matrix. The first part of this work deals with (i) the characterization of the reactivity towards oxygen and (ii) the determination of the thermoelastic properties of all the constituants of the composite, including carbon fibers. In the second part, an optimization of the architecture of the layered matrix is proposed from the modelling of the internal stresses distribution and from the elaboration and characterization of model 1D composites. Finally, the last part deals with thermomechanical characterizations of 3D composites constituted by an interlocked carbon fiber preform and a self-healing and layered matrix. An optimization of the matrix architecture is more particularly studied, thanks to lifetime tests performed at high temperature in an oxidizing environment

Full textDelayed failure of SiC/SiC woven composite is studied under static fatigue, in air, for intermediate temperatures (500°C – 800°C). Experimental results and fractographic examination are used to identify damage mechanisms. A multi-scale probabilistic facture based model is proposed to simulate damage kinetics in longitudinal tows. Microstructure is described with appropriate statistical distributions identified on fractographic investigations. Simulations demonstrate a significant effect of the microstructure on the lifetime of the tows. Microstructure – properties relations are established

Full textThe SiC/[Si-B-C]] composite has been developed for specific applications under high temperatures and corrosive environments. The envisioned applications in civil aircraft engine is require very long lifetimes (20 000 h), which cannot be measured experimental y. New methods are thus necessary to predict lifetimes of this composite. This study aims at determining the damage mechanisms limiting the composite's lifetime at intermediate temperatures. The acoustic emission (AE) technique was used to measure the damage kinetics during Static fatigue experiments. A methodology for AE signals clustering has been developed, in order to separate the signals coming from different damage mechanisms: matrix cracking, interfacial deboning sliding fiber failure. This methodology was first drawn up with ae data recorded during experiments on model materials. Then it has been applied and validated in the case of the 3d composite tested at room temperature. Static fatigue experiments were performed at temperatures in the range [450•c-750•c], in order to Determine short lifetimes and to plot a lifetime diagram as a function of the applied stress. The Degradation mechanisms were analyzed. Several damage indicators were measured during the tests: The strain, the elastic modulus and the number of AE signals. A basic criterion has been proposed for Lifetime prediction: it is possible to detect minimum of the acoustic activity, during a static fatigue experiment, at nearly 60% of the time to failure. The AE signals of fiber failures have been successfully identified. The kinetics of fiber failures could be used to model the composite's degradation and to predict lifetimes

Full textThe full understanding of a ceramic matrix composite under fatigue loading is needed in view of industrial applications. It is necessary to determine the damage mechanisms chronology and to be able to forecast the lifetime of the material in the conditions of use. To reach these purposes, a mechanical characterisation has to be done as well as the definition of damage indicators. It is then interesting to link the analysis of mechanical parameters and microscope observations with a non-destructive monitoring technique. Acoustic emission (AE) appears to be a good candidate to monitor material damage under loading. It makes the quantification and the material damage localisation possible. In this study, indicators based on released acoustic energy are used as "Severity" of signals or "Sentry function" which depends on both acoustic and mechanical energies. This work is organised in two parts. First, the analysis of mechanical parameters behaviour, material microstructure and global evolution of acoustic emission under static and cyclic loading makes the characterisation of the effects of cyclic fatigue on the material possible. The second part consists in determining a damage scenario. First acoustic emission signals are analysed depending on their acquisition during a cycle (loading or unloading). Then the connection between the acoustic emission signals and the different damage mechanisms, using a supervised clustering method, facilitated the estimation of the activation of these different damage mechanisms during cyclic fatigue tests. This study pointed out different damage mechanisms generated by cyclic loading, which are mainly debonding and friction at matrix/fibre and matrix/matrix interfaces. In addition, damage indicators based on acoustic emission enabled to determine characteristic times which can be used for lifetime forecast. For example, signal severity shows a characteristic time between 25% and 45% of the time to ultimate failure. Detection of this time in real-time during a test can be used to estimate the time of the ultimate failure of the material

Full textThe objective of this PhD thesis is to treat the ageing of composite materials with polymeric matrix used in the reinforcement and/or repair of Civil Engineering structures. Indeed the ignorance of the durability of theses materials is a barrier to their use. During this analysis, we initially studied the influence of the implementation conditions on the initial properties of the composite. Carbon-Epoxy and carbon-vinylester composites were manufactured by hand lay-up process. To simulate errors inherent to the transformation process of composite, we intentionally varied the implementation conditions (temperature, moisture, the formulation of the reactive systems,…). In a second time, we selected cycles of ageing reflecting the real civil engineering conditions during the service life of composite. The experimental program considers two main orientations: the first approach consists in submitting composites samples and mixed concrete-composites specimens to real external conditions defined by the location of the experimental site. On the other hand, laboratory accelerated tests are carried out where the ageing factors selected are separated or combined. We have essentially considered the influence of the temperature, the moisture and alkaline solution. : In order to follow the evolution of the aged composites properties, several tests of characterization (mechanical and thermo-rheological) were carried out. The finality of these tests consists in testing representative methods of ageing in real civil engineering applications conditions and developing precise tests of characterization in order to determine reliable indicators of durability and design factors. The results recorded after 18 months of exposition show that according to the medium of ageing, the nature of the matrix (epoxy or vinylester) and the implementation conditions, the properties of the composites and concrete-composites interfaces evolve differently

Full textThe aim of this study, which is a part of the " supersonic aircraft research program" is a better understanding of damage mechanisms in composite materials submitted to cyclic variation of temperature. Thermal cycling tests performed in neutral environments (vacuum and nitrogen) and oxidative environments (air and oxygen) on various lay up of the same carbon/epoxy material revealed a significant effect of the oxygen rate on damage kinetics. Indeed the results show that a coupling between oxidation and the cyclic stresses coming from thermal variation induces a significant acceleration of matrix cracking. The use of a model of oxydation as well as the calculation of the thermal stresses made it possible to propose an experimental protocol allowing to dissociate and/or accelerate the complex phenomena involved

Full textCeramic matrix composites (CMCs) are candidates for use in aeronautical applications for which durability and reliability are key factors. Beyond damage characterization, the current objective is to predict structures lifetime in service conditions. This requires quantifying damage evolution and identifying the various damage mechanisms that are involved. Therefore, it is necessary to characterize materials and define suitable damage indicators. The use or development of models would then allow the evaluation of remaining lifetime based on the analysis of precursory events. In this context, Acoustic Emission (AE) is a suitable technique. Indeed, damage mechanisms release energy in the form of transient elastic waves. Their recording, named Acoustic Emission, allows monitoring material damage growth. This technique is used in this work, which is composed of two complementary parts. The first part aims at identifying the acoustic signature of mechanisms involved in damaging of ceramic matrix composites. This would allow an accurate characterization of damage evolution and would provide indicators for rupture prediction. The second part focuses on the evaluation of remaining lifetime under static fatigue loading based on the energy of AE sources as a measure of damage. The following work shows the contribution of acoustic emission for the analysis of mechanical behaviour and lifetime prediction of CMCs. In the first part, a robust characterization of AE sources and the use of multivariate analysis allow monitoring the growth of each damage mechanism. In the second part, two reproducible phases in the behaviour of CMCs under static fatigue are identified on the AE sources energy release by two real-time indicators. The detection of the second phase and modelling of associated energy release by a power law would allow real-time prediction of the remaining lifetime

Full textThis study contributes to the understanding of the damage mechanisms of CFRP laminates subjected to thermo-mechanical stresses in oxidative environment. When these materials are submitted to thermo-mechanical loadings at high temperatures (100°C - 150°C), the presence of oxygen enhances the initiation of surface matrix cracks and accelerates their propagation towards the laminate core, thus leading to a catastrophic damage state. An experimental procedure has been performed in order to dissociate the different damage mechanisms. The analysis of the experimental results, associated with a finite element calculation of the free edge stresses, has led us to propose a damage scenario taking into account coupling between stresses and oxidation for a cross-ply laminated structure subjected to thermal cycling in oxygen environment. In a second part, we study more precisely the changes induced by oxidation in the material properties of neat epoxy matrix. We have shown that oxidation, via an internal anti-plasticization effect, leads to an increase in the indentation elastic modulus, a decrease in the damping capacity and in the glass transition temperature. In addition, it was found that there exists a correlation between the values of the elastic modulus of oxidized material and the concentration of the oxidation products predicted by a kinetic model of oxidation (diffusion - reaction). This phenomenological correlation enables to carry out a coupled "oxido-elastic" calculation in order to determine the stress field generated by the presence of an oxidized layer in a resin structure

Full textThis thesis is a part of a research project in partnership with the industry. The aim of the overall project is to design, develop and manufacture exhaust components made of Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC’s) for civil aircraft engines.The first part of the work deals with the study of first generation silicon carbide fibres (Si-C-O). Various physical and chemical characterizations (quantitative elemental analysis, SEM, TEM, Raman spectroscopy, solid NMR of 29Si and 13C, X-ray diffraction …) were carried out in order to understand the relation between the chemical composition, the structure and the mechanical properties of silicon oxycarbide fibres (Nicalon NL series 100 and 200, and Tyranno LoxM, S, ZMI and AM). Besides, a thermodynamic description of the amorphous SiCxOy phase based on high temperature calorimetry data from the literature is proposed.The second part is devoted to elaboration, by Low Pressure Chemical Vapour Deposition (LP-CVD), and characterization of hexagonal boron carbonitride (B-C-N) coatings. The chemical composition, structure and oxidation resistance (in dry or ambient air) of the coatings were investigated as a function of the deposition conditions (temperature, pressure, initial gas phase composition). Finally, the use of B-C-N coatings as interphases in CMC’s (i.e. their ability to deflect matrix cracks) was investigated by tensile tests on SiC/SiC microcomposites. Their lifetime in static fatigue was also evaluated at 550°C in room atmosphere

Full textThe aim of the study is to understand and forecast damage onset conditions in aeronautic C/Epoxy composite materials, under thermo-oxidizing environment. An original testing device is presented, built for loading mechanically composite samples under temperature and gas pressure simultaneously, and studying couplings between deformation and thermooxidation mechanisms. On another hand, a multi physic modeling is performed, minimizing the resort to phenomenological parameters: this theoretical approach is taking into account all phenomena, and provides an expression of the coupling expressions. The model is then implemented in a finite element code, to simulate in a realistic way the composites evolution during a thermo-oxidizing cycle. A quantitative comparison is done between experimentally measured and numerically pre dicted matrix shrinkage values. A good agreement is observed in all onfigurations, as far as damage onset has not occurred. In the latter case, this onset can be detected and the scenario of damage initiation can be foreseen. In the end, the perspective of a multi scale approach is investigated, in order to extend the models application capability to the service life of large structural laminate components

Full textDue to their excellent specific properties, composite materials with organic matrix are increasingly used in transport industry. During their lifetime, these materials can be subjected to aggressive hygroscopic environments. The moisture especially induces the plasticization of the polymer network, which affects its mechanical behavior, as well as dimensional changes occurring during the diffusion process. The purpose of this work is to experimentally characterize the hygro-mechanical behavior of the studied materials during aging under relative humidity conditions. Numerical analysis methods are implemented in order to identify the evolution of material properties during the transient stage of the process. Among these quantities, the present work consists in characterizing the hygroscopic expansion coefficient and the tensile modulus. It will be established that, in order to appropriately reproduce the experimental, it is necessary to develop a multi-physics and multi-scale approach accounting for the local swelling experienced by the polymer during the transient stage of the moisture diffusion process, as well as the decreasing of the elastic modulus. Moreover, some of the proposed hygromechanical models have been extended to the stochastic framework in order to take into account the experimental uncertainties. The proposed models are implemented in the finite element software Abaqus® enabling to perform numerical simulations leading to predictions of the moisture fields and the internal mechanical states. The proposed approach has been validated with the experimental data and several numerical studies involving neat polyamide resin and composites are proposed

Full textThe introduction of composite materials in critical structural parts for aircrafts represents a real technological breakthrough and requires specific studies to understand their behavior and durability. This work aims to characterize and understand the ageing mechanisms incarbon/epoxy 3D interlock composites when they are submitted to thermal cycling.For this purpose, a thermal cycle test (-55°C/120°C), whose heat and gaseous environment istotally mastered, was set up for the ageing of composite samples of elemental interlock pattern dimensions. Analysis of induced degradation mechanisms was achieved by i/ the development ofa 3D quantitative characterization method of the evolution of microcracks during cycling, basedon observations by microtomography RX and the development of a specific image processing procedure, ii/ the development of an in situ thermal cycle test under synchrotron light, coupled to a digital volume correlation technique, and iii/finite elements simulations taking into account the actual mesoscopic architecture of the samples and the thermo-viscoelastic behavior of thematrix.The results reveal complex thermo-chemo-mechanical couplings that are linked to four important parameters: time (and the number of cycles), the interlock architecture, the matrix toughness andits sensitivity to thermo-oxidation

Full textCeramic Matrix Composites (CMC) are technical materials, made of a matrix reinforced by continuous fibers, considered for civil aircraft jet engine. Although the matrix and the interphase were extensively studied in past decades, reinforcement did not gain much attention however it pilots the ultimate failure of the composite. This work is dedicated to the first generation SiC fibers containing a large amount of oxygen and is divided in two parts. Firstly, chemical reactivity of Si-C-O fibers is studied against chloride, oxidant of phosphating gases. Apparent activation energies appear as an intrinsic property and are correlated with physicochemical or microstructural properties. Among observations, we show that the nature of the metallic element, such as titanium or zirconium, greatly influence the chemical stability of the fibers, however their proportion is low (1at. %). Thereafter, delayed failure of Si-C-O tows has been studied in order to predict it at intermediate temperatures (400-900°C). A statistical approach of tows’ lifetime allows us to define the survival probability at given condition, key point for the composite certification. Results were correlated to fibers properties and their chemical reactivity suggesting two damaging phenomena leading to the tows failure: slow crack growth or static oxidation. To overcome the instability of some fibers (doped with titanium), phosphating treatment was used to transform the surface of each fiber in multilayer silicophosphate coating acting as an environmental barrier. Obviously, mechanical properties of the fibers core were not affected by this etching reaction. A clear oxidation resistance and lifetime enhancement of the tows was reached by this route

Full textDelayed failure of SiC Hi-Nicalon multifilament tows (500 fibers), minicomposites Hi-Nicalon/type PyC/SiC and Hi-Nicalon/type PyC/B4C was investigated in static fatigue, in air, at high temperatures (900°C – 1300°C) using specific and innovative devices. Static fatigue tests with measure of strain were performed on these materials. The experimental results (lifetime, strain, tensile behavior) have helped to understand and model the mechanisms responsible for the delayed failure at the different scales: - Hi-Nicalon tows rupture is caused by subcritical crack growth mechanism activated by oxidation of free carbon in the fibres. This phenomenon is disrupted by fast oxide SiO2 formation over 900°C: subcritical crack growth kinetic slows down for low stresses because of protective oxide formation which prevents the cracks from oxygen; For high stresses, the lifetime of Hi-Nicalon tows is weaker because of fibers interactions (fiber-oxide-fiber). At last, creep seems to cause the rupture of the tows for stresses over 200 MPa at 1200°C. - Hi-Nicalon/type PyC/SiC minicomposites break by subcritical crack growth slowed down by the SiC matrix and by the SiO2 formation which limit the access of the oxygen to the fibers. Creep occurs at 1200°C but it isn’t responsible of the rupture. - Hi-Nicalon/type PyC/B4C minicomposites break by subcritical crack growth slowed down by the formation of B2O3 oxide at 900°C for high stresses. The rupture is caused by the fast decrease of the diameter of the fibers at the other temperatures and for low stresses at 900°C. The oxidation kinetic of the fibers increases because of the dissolution of silica coating by B2O3 oxide. Analytical modeling was performed to schedule the lifetime of these materials and the variability of the experimental results is studied

Full textThe initiative of this work is based on weight saving European program of aeronautic structures. It takes part of PRC-Composites project and aim to develop processes and new materials. This thesis belong with this whole project and wants to highlight, to analyze, to understand, then to modelize water absorption phenomena in an organic composite (carbon/epoxy) 2D woven, manufactured by RTM process. The final objective is to evaluate the effect of moisture on the mechanical behavior.The method consists in studying the effect of water ageing on components: neat resin, interface/interphase resin/tow, and composite.For the neat resin (RTM6), a complicated coupling between water sorption and thermo-oxidation of the matrix at 70°C has been demonstrated, uncoupled and then experimentally quantified using a coupled diffuso-mechanical model. A study based on the use of “mono-tow” samples, specially manufactured for this work, has shown – on the microscopic scale – the presence of interface/interphase resin/tow has no significant effect on the diffusion kinetic through the matrix. In moist/oxidant environment, the composite behavior (RTM6/AS7) has been explored relaying on established ideas related to components. Water diffusion has been modelized through an explicit representation of the microstructure and by including neat resin established model. The aged composite behavior has been evaluated with uni-axial tensile tests in 3 directions (0°, 90° and 45°). These experiments show the interest of the component pre-study

Full textThis study is focused on a woven glass-fibre-reinforced composite (2/2 twill) with a polyamide 6,6 matrix. From the perspective of its future integration in automotive parts, the fatigue behavior of this material is investigated. The aim is to develop a fatigue model able to predict the fatigue life of the composite studied. The PA66 behaviour is highly influenced by the moisture content, thus, it is necessary to take this parameter into account. Hence, three conditionings are studied: RH0, RH50 andRH100 which correspond respectively to the dry-as-moulded, the ambient and the water-saturated state.Three different stacking sequences are used in order to study the influence of fibre orientation: [(0/90)3],[(90/0)3] and [(±45)3]. First, the influence of moisture on microstructural and mechanical properties formonotonic tensile tests is studied. The plasticizing effect of water on PA66 has been highlighted. A damage scenario has been determined for every configuration studied by using acoustic emission technique during monotonic tensile tests and post-mortem SEM observations. Then, tension-tension fatigue tests are performed for all sample configurations. The results have been used to set up two phenomenological fatigue life models: the constant life diagrams and the two-parameter model based onS-N curves. The latter has been enhanced by including the relative humidity in order to be able to predict the fatigue life of the material for any conditioning. In general, this model estimates quite well the fatigue life of the material for different testing conditions. Finally, the two-parameter model has been used for fatigue life prediction of both open-hole samples and a mini-structure in order to evaluate its capability to be used in an industrial context

Full textPlant fibre composites are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional composite materials such as fibreglass composites. However, plant fibres are highly hydrophilic in comparison with the polymer matrix. It is therefore necessary to study the influence of moisture on the mechanical behaviour of these eco-materials.In this work, three conditionings were applied. “Ambient” samples were stored and tested in ambient environment. “Wet” samples were immersed in water until saturation and tested in a climatic chamber at RH97. The objective of the “Wet/Dry” conditioning was to study the role of desorption on the mechanical properties of the composite. Woven hemp/epoxy composite samples with two orientations, [(0/90)]7 and [(± 45)]7, were tested in tension and fatigue according to the three conditionings. In situ analyses by acoustic emission and post-mortem analyses by SEM and micro-CT were carried out.Fatigue tests allowed to determine the Wöhler curves for the two orientations and the three conditionings. A phenomenological model was used to simulate the fatigue life of the composite in all configurations. The comparisons showed that the Wet samples exhibit a lower tensile strength than the Ambient specimens and a lower fatigue sensitivity, while the behaviour of the Wet/dry samples is similar to the Wet conditioning one concerning the tensile strength and similar to the Ambient one concerning the fatigue sensitivity. The classification of acoustic events allowed the identification of three clusters, each cluster corresponding to a type of damage (matrix damage, interfacial damage and fibre breakage). For the two orientations, the results showed that the proportion in number and the kinetics of development of each type of damage depend on the level of the maximum applied stress and on the conditioning. Matrix and interfacial damages are largely the most numerous acoustic events for all the configurations. Micro-CT analysis showed that the damage is different depending on the orientation. However, for each orientation, the same type of damage is observed for the three conditionings, at different stages of development: more advanced for the Wet conditioning, intermediate for the Wet/Dry one and the least developed for the Ambient one.The analysis of the yarn/matrix interface adhesion was performed through fragmentation tests realised on monofilament hemp/epoxy specimens. A specific mould was designed and developed to produce these specimens by casting. Acoustic emission monitoring and observations in polarized light allowed a better understanding of the fragmentation phenomenon in this type of material. The Interfacial Shear Strength (IFSS) values were calculated and the interfacial debonding lengths were measured. The results show that the yarn/matrix interface is weakened after drying, with a decrease in IFSS of 33%. To improve adhesion at the interface, treatments with hydrogen peroxide and non-thermal plasma were applied to the hemp yarns. Fragmentation tests showed that IFSS is almost twice as high with the peroxide treatment and three times higher with plasma, compared to untreated specimens. An upscale was made by applying the hydrogen peroxide treatment to the hemp fabric. The tensile and fatigue behaviour of hemp/epoxy composites produced with this treated fabric was studied. The results obtained at this scale are disappointing. Therefore, the non-thermal plasma treatment remains the most promising solution, but applying this technique at the fabric scale is complex and requires the development of a new reactor
