Critical Thrust Force Forecasting for Drilling Exit Delamination of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics

Exit delamination is excessive drilling thrust force.Therefore,it is necessary to investigate the critical thrust force which cause exit delamination when carbon fibre reinforced plastics(CRFP)is drilled.According to the linear elastic fracture mechanics,the mechanics of composite material and the classical thin plate bending theory,a common theoretical model of the critical drilling thrust force for CFRP plates is established.Compared with the experimental data of previous studies,the results show that the theoretical values agree well with the experimental values.This model can be used to forecast the critical thrust force for the drilling-induced delamination of CFRP.

Effect of Fibre Packing on Random Variability of Compressive Strength of Unidirectional Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic

Compression tests on twenty unidirectional(UD) carbon fibre reinforced plastic(CFRP) specimens are conducted, the statistics on the measured compressive strength is calculated, and the fracture surface is characterized. Two types of different fracture surface are experimentally observed, and they are corresponding to very different values on the compressive strength. A finite element(FE) analysis is conducted to investigate the influence of random fibre packing on the compressive strength. And a riks method(provided in ABAQUS software) is applied in FE model to analyze fibre buckling behaviour in the vicinity of compressive failure. The FE analysis agrees well with the experimental observation on the two types of buckling modes and also the partition of compressive strength. It is clearly shown that the random fibre packing lays a significant influence on the random variability of compressive strength of CFRP.

板材厚度组合对CFRP-Al自冲铆接头底切值的影响

选取5组不同厚度组合的碳纤维复合材料(CFRP)板和铝合金板进行自冲铆连接对比试验,并限定板厚组合为唯一的影响因素,以探索板厚组合对自冲铆接头底切值的影响规律。结果表明,CFRP上板厚度固定,接头底切值随着下板厚度的增加而提升,而固定铝合金下板厚度,接头底切值则随上板厚度的增加而降低。分析认为,铝合金下板的厚度限制钉脚刺入下板的深度并决定了底切值的上限,同时,自冲铆过程中铆钉钉脚切割上板形成的残余材料堆积于钉孔内,并在钉脚刺入铝合金下板过程中对下板产生挤压作用,导致钉孔下方的下板被压薄,且对下板的压薄作用随着上板厚度的增加而增强,从而接头的底切值随着上板厚度增加而下降。

CFRP加固受损再生混凝土板的抗弯性能试验研究

为了探究CFRP加固受损再生混凝土板的抗弯性能,制作了4块再生混凝土板(再生粗骨料取代率为50%),考虑预损伤等级及加载循环次数对试件加固性能的影响。通过试验与数值模拟研究,分析了试件的破坏模式、荷载-位移曲线及承载能力,并对规范中的承载力计算公式进行了修正。结果表明:CFRP加固再生混凝土板的破坏模式为CFRP脱落;当预损伤等级<0.4P_(m)(极限承载力)时,加固后的试件承载力变化不大;当预损伤等级≥0.4P_(m)时,加固后的试件承载力随预损伤等级的提升而降低;当预损伤等级<0.9P_(m)时,加载循环次数对试件的承载力影响很小;当预损伤等级≥0.9P_(m)时,试件承载力随加载循环次数的增大而显著降低;试件承载力随着CFRP加固层数的增加而增大;修正后的承载力计算公式具有较高的计算精度。

基于修正混凝土塑性损伤模型的大应变FRP约束混凝土有限元分析

精确的有限元分析(FEA)依赖于材料的准确定义。通过编写用户子程序UMAT实现了大断裂应变纤维增强聚合物(LRS FRP)在纤维方向上拉伸特性的定义。基于Abaqus中混凝土塑性损伤模型的理论框架,提出了一种改进的混凝土塑性损伤模型用于定义LRS FRP约束混凝土的材料特性。这些改进包括:通过LRS FRP约束混凝土的实验数据校准了与屈服准则相关的参数K;硬化/软化准则与约束刚度相关;流动法则与轴向塑性应变相关。采用修改后的材料模型进行FEA,结果表明:FEA预测的应力-应变曲线与实验结果吻合。基于FEA的结果,讨论了矩形柱截面上应力分布的不均匀性,根据约束效果可分为有效约束区域和弱约束区域,且在约束有效区域上应力分布不均匀性随着截面比(长边/短边)的增加而增加。

3D Printing of Polylactic Acid Bioplastic–Carbon Fibres and Twisted Kevlar Composites Through Coextrusion Using Fused Deposition Modeling

Polylactic acid(PLA)bioplastic is a common material used in Fused Deposition Modeling(FDM)3D printing.It is biodegradable and environmentally friendly biopolymer which made out of corn.However,it exhibits weak mechanical properties which reduced its usability as a functional prototype in a real-world application.In the present study,two PLA composites are created through coextruded with 3K carbon fibres and twisted Kevlar string(as core fibre)to form a fibre reinforced parts(FRP).The mechanical strength of printed parts was examined using ASTM D638 standard with a strain rate of 1 mm/min.It has been demonstrated that the FRPs coextruded with 3K carbon fibres had achieved significant improvement in Young’s modulus(+180.6%,9.205 GPa),ultimate tensile strength(+175.3%,103 MPa)and maximum tensile strain(+21.6%,1.833%).Although the Young’s modulus of Kevlar FRP was found to be similar to as compared to unreinforced PLA(~3.29 GPa),it has gained significant increment in terms of maximum tensile strain(+179.7%,104.64 MPa),and maximum tensile strain(+257%,5.384%).Thus,this study revealed two unique composite materials,in which the 3K carbon FRP can offer stiff and high strength structure while Kevlar FRP offers similar strength but at a higher elasticity.

Experimental study on ductility improvement of reinforced concrete rectangular Columns retrofitted with a new fiber reinforced plastics method

Reinforced concrete （RC） columns lacking adequately detailed transverse reinforcement do not possess the necessary ductility to dissipate seismic energy during a major earthquake without severe strength degradation. In this paper, a new retrofit method, which utilized fiber-reinforced plastics （FRP） confinement mechanism and anchorage of embedded bars, was developed aiming to retrofit non-ductile large RC rectangular columns to prevent the damage of the plastic hinges. Carbon FRP （CFRP） sheets and glass FRP （GFRP） bars were used in this test, and five scaled RC columns were tested to examine the function of this new method for improving the ductility of columns. Responses of columns were examined before and after being retrofitted. Test results indicate that this new composite method can be very effective to improve the anti-seismic behavior of non-ductile RC columns compared with normal CFRP sheets retrofitted column.

Recipe Development and Mechanical Characterization of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Recycled Polypropylene 3D Printing Filament

Recycled polypropylene filaments for fused filament fabrication were investigated with and without 14 wt% short fibre carbon reinforcements. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the filaments and 3D printed specimens were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and standard tensile testing. It was observed that recycled polypropylene filaments with 14 wt% short carbon fibre reinforcement contained pores that were dispersed throughout the microstructure of the filament. A two-stage filament extrusion process was observed to improve the spatial distribution of carbon fibre reinforcement but did not reduce the pores. Recycled polypropylene filaments without reinforcement extruded at high screw speeds above 20 rpm contained a centreline cavity but no spatially distributed pores. However, this cavity is eliminated when extrusion is carried out at screw speeds below 20 rpm. For 3D printed specimens, interlayer cavities were observed larger for specimens printed from 14 wt% carbon fibre reinforced recycled polypropylene than those printed from unreinforced filaments. The values of tensile strength for the filaments were 21.82 MPa and 24.22 MPa, which reduced to 19.72 MPa and 22.70 MPa, respectively, for 3D printed samples using the filaments. Likewise, the young’s modulus of the filaments was 1208.6 MPa and 1412.7 MPa, which reduced to 961.5 MPa and 1352.3 MPa, respectively, for the 3D printed samples. The percentage elongation at failure for the recycled polypropylene filament was 9.83% but reduced to 3.84% for the samples printed with 14 wt% carbon fiber reinforced polypropylene filaments whose elongation to failure was 6.58%. The SEM observations on the fractured tensile test samples showed interlayer gaps between the printed and the adjacent raster layers. These gaps accounted for the reduction in the mechanical properties of the printed parts.

Flexural Behavior of FRP-Reinforced Concrete Composite Member

Concrete Filled FRP （Reinforced Polymeric Plastic） Tubes （CFFT） and Reinforced Concrete Filled FRP Tubes （RCFFT） are known to have the capability to enhance structural performance in terms of structural stability, ductility, as well as chemical resistance when compared with conventional concrete members. In this study, the authors evaluate the structural performance of the CFFT and the RCFFT through flexural tests for the purpose of applying the members as flexural ones. Moreover, the compressive behavior of the CFFT and the RCFFT members was investigated to examine their confinement effects. Based on the experimental and analytical results of the compressive behavior of the members, equations for estimating the ultimate compressive strengths of the CFFT and the RCFFT were proposed. In addition, the degree of improvement on the flexural performance of the RCFFT member strengthened by the FRP was analyzed from the flexural tests.

碳纤维复合材料(CFRP)钻孔出口缺陷的研究

对碳纤维复合材料(CFRP)钻孔出口的缺陷进行了试验研究,对其典型形式进行了模型总结,指出孔出口缺陷由撕裂和毛边两部分组成,其中撕裂比毛边的尺寸大。撕裂的形成过程包括两个作用阶段即横刃作用阶段和主切削刃作用阶段,其中横刃作用在撕裂形成中占主导成份。毛边缺陷通常出现在表层纤维被“顺向”切削的孔边缘部分。另外,以孔出口两侧撕裂长度平均值作为撕裂评价参数,在总结钻削试验结果的基础上探讨了钻削参数变化对撕裂大小的影响。指出随着进给速度、进给量、钻头直径和轴向力等因素的增大,撕裂缺陷将变得严重;钻头转速的增大将使撕裂值变小;将切削速度与进给速度比值控制在3000-4000以下,可以有效地减小撕裂值。

Experimental study on aseismic behaviors of Chinese ancient tenon-mortise joint strengthened by CFRP

In order to well protect Chinese ancient buildings, aseismic behaviors of Chinese ancient tenon-mortise joints strengthened by carbon fibre reinforced plastic （CFRP） are studied by experiments. Based on the actual size of an ancient building, a wooden frame model with a scale of 1 ： 8 of the prototype structure is built considering the swallow-tail type of tenon-mortise connections. Low cyclic reversed loading tests are carried out including three groups of unstrengthened structures and two groups of structures strengthened with CFRP. Based on experimental data, moment-rotation angle hysteretic curves and skeleton curves for each joint are obtained. The energy dissipation capability, stiffness degradation and deformation performance of the joints before and after being strengthened are also analyzed. Results show that after being strengthened with CFRP, the tenon value pulled out of the mortise is reduced; the bending strength and the energy dissipation capabilities of the joint are enhanced; stiffness degradation of the joint is not obvious; and the deformation performance of the joint remains good. Thus, the CFRP has good effects on strengthening the tenon-mortise joints of Chinese ancient buildings.
