Effect of Braid Angle on Crushing Performance of Double-Layer Carbon Fiber Composite Pipe

Abstract

Three-dimensional braided composite materials have the advantages of high specific strength and good specific rigidity, they are widely used in various fields. With the help of the full-scale macrostructure model finite element analysis method to pre-test the mechanical properties of the axial compression, the simulation can observe the failure process, stress distribution and propagation form of the pipe, and study its failure mechanism. Then verify the correctness of the simulation through experiments. The conclusion is that the compressive performance of the material changes with the change in the braid angle. A smaller braiding angle can bear a larger load, but its material failure process is relatively rapid, and the load drop increases as the braiding angle decreases.
