The measurement was performed using the laser-spot periodic heating method. The samples were unidirectional (UD) and crossply (CP) CFRPs. All carbon fibers of the UD samples ran in one direction, while those of the CP samples ran in two directions. In both UD and CP CFRPs, from -80°C to +80°C, temperature dependence of thermal diffusivity values increased as temperature decreased. In this temperature range, the anisotropic ratio between the fiber direction and its perpendicular direction of the UD CFRP was 106 - 124. During the anisotropy distribution measurement, it was found that thermal anisotropy can be visualized by scanning the laser in a circle on the sample. The thermal diffusivity of the UD CFRP in the fiber direction was 17 times larger than that in the 15°direction, and the thermal diffusivity in the other directions was lower than that in the 15°direction. The anisotropy distribution for the CP CFRP reflected its inhomogeneous structure.展开更多

The shear strengths of carbon fiber and epoxy resin were measured using the microdroplet test, whereas interaction and binding energies were estimated using?Ab initio?and molecular dynamics methods. However, binding energies did not impact the shear strength volumes determined by microdroplet tests,?i.e., bonds between functional groups of the carbon filer and the epoxy resin were difficult to break. On the other hand, the interaction energies calculated for epoxy monomers were in good agreement with experimental data. Moreover, we determined the relationship between the simulated interaction energy and the shear fracture strength volume obtained using the microdroplet test.展开更多

The surface to be bonded was spiked by punching small holes of 2 mm in diameter with 10 mm spacing. The aim is to increase bonding capacity by having small studs. Five beams with the dimension of 100 mm x 200 mm x 3,000 mm were tested where one of the beams was used as control beam （unstrengthened）. The remaining beams were strengthened with different configurations before tested to failure under four-point loading. The results showed that the ductility was increased as the percentage of CFRP increased. The ductility was dramatically improved where the highest ductility index based on deflection method was 2.2 where the percentage increase was 37.5%, whereas the highest ductility index based on energy method was 3.2 where the percentage increase was 88.2%. From this study, it was found that 0.3% is the optimum value of CFRP area to achieve maximum ductility index. Ductility index obtained from energy method gives higher values when compared to deflection method. All beams in this study did not fail due to peel off or debonding. It was also proved that the spikes that have been made at the wood surface were very effective for bonding.展开更多

Side-milling experiments with large-diameter milling tools are conducted. A finite element(FE) cutting model of carbon fiber reinforced plastics(CFRP)is established to get insight into the cutting stress status at different wear stages. The results show that different fiber orientations bring about distinct differences in the extent, profile and mechanism of tool wear. Severer wear occurs when cutting 45° and 90° plies, followed by 0°, correspondingly,the least wear is obtained when θ = 135°(θ represents the orientation of fibers). Moreover, the worn profiles of cutting tools when θ = 0° and 45° are waterfall edge, while round edge occurs whenθ = 135° and a combined shape of waterfall and round edge is obtained when θ = 90°. The wear mechanisms under different fiber orientations are strongly dependent on the cutting stress distributions. The evolution of tool wear profile is basically consistent with the stress distribution on the tool surface at different wear stages, and the extent of tool wear is determined by the magnitude of stress on the tool surface. Besides, the worn edges produce an actual negative clearance angle,which decreases the actual cutting thickness and leads to compressing and bending failure of fibers beneath the cutting region as well as low surface qualities.展开更多
