Abstract—The reliability of numerical modeling of crack growth in a laminate glass-epoxy composite under combined loading by opening (mode I) and shear (mode II) of an interlaminar crack was assessed. According to experimentally determined standard (DCB and ENF) and nonstandard (SLB and OLB) methods for the values of interlayer crack resistance parameters under individual and combined loading modes I and II, the exponent in the Benzeggagh-Kenane equation was calculated as a material constant of a laminated epoxy glass composite. Using this parameter and using the ANSYS application software package within the framework of linear elastic fracture mechanics and the virtual crack closure method, the numerical finite element modeling of interlaminar crack resistance of SLB and OLB type specimens was carried out under a combined loading mode with a different fraction of modes. With an optimal number of elements in a finite element mesh corresponding to a given length of the crack growth trajectory, the numerical modeling provides sufficient accuracy in calculating the limit load of the beginning of crack growth with a minimum amount of calculations and good agreement between the experimentally determined and calculated crack resistance parameters.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. Best articles are selected from four Russian periodicals: Materialovedenie, Perspektivnye Materialy, Fizika i Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov, and Voprosy Materialovedeniya and translated into English. The journal reports recent achievements in materials science: physical and chemical bases of materials science; effects of synergism in composite materials; computer simulations; creation of new materials (including carbon-based materials and ceramics, semiconductors, superconductors, composite materials, polymers, materials for nuclear engineering, materials for aircraft and space engineering, materials for quantum electronics, materials for electronics and optoelectronics, materials for nuclear and thermonuclear power engineering, radiation-hardened materials, materials for use in medicine, etc.); analytical techniques; structure–property relationships; nanostructures and nanotechnologies; advanced technologies; use of hydrogen in structural materials; and economic and environmental issues. The journal also considers engineering issues of materials processing with plasma, high-gradient crystallization, laser technology, and ultrasonic technology. Currently the journal does not accept direct submissions, but submissions to one of the source journals is possible.
