Fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites are increasingly considered for lightweight cryogenic pressure vessels due to their excellent combination of tailorability, specific mechanical properties, and relatively low coefficients of thermal expansion. However, significant challenges must be overcome to fully utilize PMCs for cryogenic fuel tanks in terms of transverse microcracking and subsequent permeation of cryogenic fuel. Gas permeation and microcrack densities of cryogenically cycled composites are highly influenced by their layup, ply thickness, load case, and manufacturing defects like voids and resin rich zones. There has been a significant amount of research on measuring gas permeation of composites fatigued under pure thermal or uniaxial thermo-mechanical stresses. However, results demonstrate that the gas permeability should be measured under biaxial thermo-mechanical stresses to properly gauge the leakage characteristics of damaged composites. This paper summarizes the results from over a hundred papers on the key parameters that influence the gas permeability of composites, appropriate testing methods to cycle composites for permeability measurement, methods to limit the evolution of transverse microcracks, and materials traditionally used for the fabrication of all-composite cryogenic fuel tanks. Thin plies and nanofiller-toughening of the matrix have been shown to provide significant improvements in transverse microcrack suppression within cryogenically cycled composites.

In this study, two different peach peel powders were produced using the sieving process: with fiber (filler-fiber powder) and without fiber (filler powder). To investigate the effects of the prepared powders on the shape memory properties of PLA, PLA/Filler (wt%90 PLA: wt%10 filler) and PLA/Fiber-Filler (wt%90 PLA: wt%10 Fiber-Filler) biocomposite films were prepared by the solvent casting technique. The shape memory properties of the films, such as shape fixity ratio and shape recovery ratio, were determined by the bending test. For the PLA film, the shape fixity ratio is 81 ± 5%. When filler powders are applied, the shape fixity ratio is unaffected. However, when fiber-filler powder is added, the shape fixity ratio drops to 75 ± 1%. The shape recovery ratio for PLA film is 50 ± 7%. The shape recovery ratio increases to 54 ± 4% when filler powder is added. However, the percentage of shape recovery ratio remains the same when filler-fiber powders are added. Shape memory performance can be enhanced by adding peach peel filler powder to the PLA. The peach peel filler can be considered as a cost-effective filler to improve the shape memory properties of PLA-based biocomposites. As a result, peach peel filler reinforced PLA based composite films may be possible low-cost and biodegreadable shape memory material candidates for a variety of industries like aerospace and soft robotics.

A method for detecting low-velocity impact damage in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is presented. It involves the use of the Impulse Excitation Technique (IET) and hysteresis loops to calculate the damping parameter of T700/NCT304-1 carbon/epoxy samples subjected to various low-velocity impact energies. The value of the coefficient of restitution (COR) is determined for each impact, ranging between 0.62 for the lowest impact energy to 0.48 for the highest one. The results reveal that a three-step increase in the damping parameter exists in all cases as the impact energy on the specimen increases. An abrupt jump in the damping parameter value is observed for impact energies exceeding ∼0.9 of the material's maximum capacity. Overall, at the highest impact energy equal to 3.65 J, the damping parameter increased by 43.3% compared to the pristine specimen. Additionally, two cases of cyclic tension-tension loading were applied to the specimens, with maximum stresses set at 150 MPa and 200 MPa. The measured values of plastic and elastic strain energy were used to determine the damping ratios. For both cases, the damping of the specimen subjected to the highest impact energy was ∼1.2 times greater than that of an intact specimen, with an increase pattern similar to the findings of the IET method. Optical microscope images of the specimens are provided to illustrate various damage modes observed in the composite materials.

Sandwich composites are widely used in aviation, aerospace and marine engineering fields because of their excellent comprehensive properties. However, it is difficult to accurately predict the ultimate performance of sandwich composite structures because of their complex failure modes and uncoordinated damage processes. In this paper, the ultimate load, progressive failure process and failure mode of sandwich composite T-joints under three-point bending and lateral bending loads are predicted and verified by using an improved progressive damage analysis program. Moreover, the bio-inspired optimization of the composite T-joint is carried out, and the corner shape and material combination of the T-joint are designed and optimized based on the contour of the flange bone of the bird. The main factors affecting the bearing capacity of T-joint are further discussed, and a reasonable and feasible bio-inspired optimization scheme is obtained, which provides some reference for the design of marine composite T-joint.

This article presents a comprehensive experimental investigation into the drilling behavior of Nomex®, a type of aramid fiber. The study specifically examines the impact of various cutting parameters and drill bit types on drilling outcomes. While Nomex® offers many advantages, difficult chip evacuation during drilling of aramid fiber composites can lead to surface defects and delamination. The research aims to explore how drilling parameters—such as spindle speed, feed rate—and four distinct drill bit types affect drilling performance. The analysis encompasses factors such as thrust force, torque, and surface roughness, studied under different drilling conditions and with various drill bit types. Moreover, the research assesses peeling and push-out delamination factors to gain insights into drill bit and coating characteristics. An examination of burr and chipping further enhances the comprehension of drilling performance. To determine the most effective drilling conditions, the study employs multi-response optimization. The optimal drilling performance is achieved with a combination of a 0.1 mm/rev feed rate, 1402.82 r/min spindle speed, and HSS-TiN drill type. This configuration successfully integrates responses, resulting in a composite desirability value of 0.95.

This study develops a double cantilever beam test by using a specific fixture for measuring the representative critical energy release rate of rigid composite rods. Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite rod was used for the evaluation. Finite element analysis applying Cohesive Zone Model was used to estimate the relationship between load and displacement. In addition, for verifying the effect of specimen width on the measurement, the representative critical energy release rate was estimated and compared with reference to the crack length measured from the center or outer tip of the crack. The numerical results showed close value to that of experiment. This suggests that an effective representative critical energy release rate can be measured by the proposed method.

This study introduces an analytical micromechanical model considering progressive damage designed to predict the elastic and strength properties of plain weave composites subjected to fatigue loading. The presented model is composed of a multi-scale micromechanical model, wherein a progressive damage mechanism has been incorporated. During the development of this multi-scale micromechanical model, a representative volume element was chosen and homogenized, utilizing assumptions pertaining to identical out-of-plane stresses and in-plane strains. These assumptions satisfy the conditions of equilibrium and displacement continuity in the representative volume element and, through a three-step process, enhance the model’s accuracy in applying the damage model and predicting the elastic properties of plain weave composites under static loading. Subsequently, the damage mechanism was progressively developed by accounting for the crucial role of matrix crack growth. This was achieved by employing the kinetic theory of fracture for polymers and integrating it with the multi-scale micromechanical model. Ultimately, the elastic and strength properties of plain weave composites under fatigue loading were predicted. A comparison of the results derived from the present model with those available in the literature demonstrated a high degree of agreement.

The presence of temperature and crystallinity gradients in carbon fiber–reinforced PolyEtherEtherKetone (PEEK) composite laminates, produced via laser-assisted tape placement, is investigated in this paper. The manufacturing process takes place with high deposition speed and using localized laser source for heating, therefore enhancing the formation of temperature and crystallinity gradients through the laminate thickness. A previously validated thermal model coupled with a non-isothermal crystallinity model and a fusion model are used to simulate the temperature and crystallinity distributions through the laminate thickness. The results from the model are correlated with Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) tests and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) tests since a crystallinity gradient is difficult to monitor experimentally. The simulated gradients suggested the presence of an amorphous layer between two consecutive plies and an increase in the crystallinity through the material’s thickness. This observation is correlated with the behavior reported for the semi-crystalline laminates during the DMA test, where the modulus drops abruptly during the glass transition, a typical behavior for an amorphous material.

This paper presents some principles of research done on the assessment of fiber-matrix adhesion and durability in cement-based and polymer-based composites reinforced with vegetable fibers. Natural vegetable fibers are light, biodegradable and low-cost; however, their compatibility with both matrices - which are generally hydrophobic- is poor, because of their hydrophilic character. This review presents the different strategies proposed in literature to improve (1) interfacial bonding between matrix and fibers and (2) sustainability of composite materials reinforced by vegetable fibers. In order to achieve these goals, searchers investigate chemical or/and physical treatments of fibers and/or matrix modification of composites materials. The impacts of these strategies are followed in terms of mechanical properties, thermal properties, morphology and water absorption of the composite materials. Authors proposed to focus on the influence of aging on these characteristics in order to estimate durability.

The use of natural fiber-reinforced polymer materials has become increasingly common in various applications. However, the performance and durability of these composites in outdoor applications are not fully understood. Therefore, the objective of this study is to investigate the impact of an artificial ultraviolet radiation on the degradation behavior of composites based on a Poly Butylene Succinate (PBS) matrix. The reinforcement materials used in this research were the trunk and palm fibers obtained from date palm trees. Specifically, the effect of modifying the fiber surface with an enzymatic treatment on the interfacial adhesion fiber/matrix as well as on the rate of deterioration of the resulted composites, under accelerated aging, was assessed. Changes in the composite’s thermal stability, surface morphology and mechanical properties were determined after aging. A sharp transition in the behavior of the PBS matrix was observed after UV exposure, shifting from slight ductility following 100 h to brittleness after 700 h. The aging process resulted in a decrease in the thermal stability of all composites. However, the composites containing treated fibers exhibited better thermal stability compared to those with untreated fibers. Additionally, the use of enzyme-treated fibers in the composites promoted greater stability in the mechanical properties even after aging. The reinforcement of the composites with palm fibers yielded better interfacial adhesion compared to the use of trunk fibers, and resulted in better retention in the tensile strength property after aging. The enzymatic treatment facilitated stronger physical attachment between the fibers and the matrix, preventing any fiber or interface degradation.

The reinforcement materials used in this research were the trunk and palm fibers obtained from date palm trees. Specifically, the effect of modifying the fiber surface with an enzymatic treatment on the interfacial adhesion fiber/matrix as well as on the rate of deterioration of the resulted composites, under accelerated aging, was assessed. Changes in the composite’s thermal stability, surface morphology and mechanical properties were determined after aging. A sharp transition in the behavior of the PBS matrix was observed after UV exposure, shifting from slight ductility following 100 h to brittleness after 700 h. The aging process resulted in a decrease in the thermal stability of all composites. However, the composites containing treated fibers exhibited better thermal stability compared to those with untreated fibers. Additionally, the use of enzyme-treated fibers in the composites promoted greater stability in the mechanical properties even after aging. The reinforcement of the composites with palm fibers yielded better interfacial adhesion compared to the use of trunk fibers, and resulted in better retention in the tensile strength property after aging. The enzymatic treatment facilitated stronger physical attachment between the fibers and the matrix, preventing any fiber or interface degradation.","PeriodicalId":15489,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Composite Materials","volume":"67 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138951348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
