Compared with the experimental results of the CFRP （Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics） laminates, the performance of GLARE was determined. By means of concentrated quasi-static indentation force test, typical force displacement response, the maximum contact force and dent depth were received, Through drop-weight low-velocity impact tests, impact force histories, indentation depths （through a new method） and dissipated energy were obtained. The test results show that the force-displacement response of GLARE 4 laminates under the concentrated quasi-static indentation force has an obvious fiat roof and the failure is instantaneous, which are different from CFRP laminates. The indention will be visible once the impact happens. C-scan results find that there is no delamination besides the impact area after both the concentrated quasi-static indentation and low-velocity impact. The dissipated energy approximately equals the impact energy.展开更多

It is a physical mechanism based, three-dimensional damage analysis criterion which takes into consideration the constituent properties on the macroscopic failure behavior of the composite laminates. A complete set of stress transformation, damage determination and evolution methods are established to realize the application of the multi-scale method in failure analysis. Open-hole tension（OHT） specimens of three material systems（CCF300/5228, CCF300/5428 and T700/5428） are tested according to ASTM standard D5766, and good agreements are found between the experimental results and the numerical predictions. It is found that fiber strength is a key factor influencing the ultimate strength of the laminates, while matrix failure alleviates the stress concentration around the hole. Different matchings of fiber and matrix result in different failure modes as well as ultimate strengths.展开更多
