Abstract
The intralaminar tensile failure of 2D woven composites under dynamic tensile load was investigated in this paper. Compact tension samples were tested at high loading rate with an electromagnetic Hopkinson bar system. The strain field was obtained with high-speed imaging and digital image correlation, and the J-integral method was employed to obtain the fracture toughness and corresponding R-curve. The continuum damage evolution of intralaminar failure was then analyzed by tracking the opening near the initial crack tip. It is found that the dynamic intralaminar fracture toughness is decreased by 51% compared to the quasi-static condition, the continuum damage evolution and its dependence on loading rate have been reported as well. The failure mechanisms were studied with thermal imaging and scanned electron microscopy, shorter fibre pull-out length and thinner failure process zone may be responsible for the reduced toughness at high loading rate.
期刊介绍:
Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics'' aims & scopes have been re-designed to cover both the theoretical, applied, and numerical aspects associated with those cracking related phenomena taking place, at a micro-, meso-, and macroscopic level, in materials/components/structures of any kind.
The journal aims to cover the cracking/mechanical behaviour of materials/components/structures in those situations involving both time-independent and time-dependent system of external forces/moments (such as, for instance, quasi-static, impulsive, impact, blasting, creep, contact, and fatigue loading). Since, under the above circumstances, the mechanical behaviour of cracked materials/components/structures is also affected by the environmental conditions, the journal would consider also those theoretical/experimental research works investigating the effect of external variables such as, for instance, the effect of corrosive environments as well as of high/low-temperature.
