Z-pin/缝合对复合材料T型接头剪切承载能力的影响

Effect of Z-pin/stitching on the shear carrying capacity of composite T-joints

利用三维有限元模型对Z-pin/缝合增强试验件进行有限元分析,采用内聚力模型模拟界面的破坏情况,通过在分层的上下界面加入非线性弹簧元来模拟Z-pin/缝合的增强机制,非线性弹簧元的力学性能(桥联律)由细观力学方法获得。通过与试验结果的对比发现,由于未进行界面增强的T型结构的剪切承载能力已较高,Zpin/缝合增强较难提高T型接头的剪切承载能力。从少数几种可提高T型接头的剪切承载能力的增强方案中可看到,应选择拉伸强度较高而拉伸模量较低的缝线来进行T型接头剪切界面增强设计。

Three-dimensional FEM models were used to simulate the Z-pin/stitching reinforced T-joint specimens.The interface failure was simulated with cohesive zone model,and the effect of Z-pin/stitching was simulated with nonlinear springs inserted into the interface.The mechanical properties of the spring,i.e.bridging law,were obtained based on a micromechanical approach.Comparing with experimental results and the FEM results,it is difficult to increase the shear carrying capacity of T-joints through Z-pin/stitching as the shear carrying capacity of unreinforced T-joint is quite high already.After analyzing the a few schemes which can increase the shear carrying capacity of T-joints,choosing stitch with high tensile strength and low tensile modulus was suggested to be used for the design of interface reinforcement.
