Effects of ply thickness and 0°-layer ratio on failure mechanism of open-hole and filled-hole tensile tests of thin-ply composite laminates

Ryoma Aoki et al.

Summary: Thin-ply technology offers more possibilities for composite structures, allowing for variations in ply thickness and laminate layup. This study investigated the effects of ply thickness and 0 degrees-layer ratio on the strength and damage behavior of thin-ply composite laminates, finding that thin-ply can reduce strength and a higher 0 degrees-layer ratio leads to increased strength with a transition to splitting-dominated failure. Additionally, finite element analysis indicated that fastener restraint can alleviate stress concentration, potentially impacting tensile strength.

Deformation and failure of pseudo-ductile quasi-isotropic all-carbon hybrid FRPS with an open hole under tension

S. B. Sapozhnikov et al.

Summary: An experimental study was conducted to investigate the elastic and pseudo-ductile deformation processes of carbon fibre reinforced plastics with low elongation (LE) and high elongation (HE) layers. The study examined the stable elastic deformation, microdamage accumulation, and delamination of the LE and HE layers. The results showed that the quasi-isotropic hybrid laminates exhibited good performance in terms of notch sensitivity.

In situ synchrotron computed tomography study of nanoscale interlaminar reinforcement and thin-ply effects on damage progression in composite laminates

Xinchen Ni et al.

Summary: In situ X-ray synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SRCT) was used to compare the damage effects of two mechanical enhancement technologies on carbon fiber composite laminates. The study found that nanostitching can improve the tensile strength and reduce delaminations, while thin-ply laminates inherently suppress matrix damage. The research provides insights for mechanical enhancement approaches and damage models.

Damage-mechanics mesoscale modeling of composite laminates considering diffuse and discrete ply damages: Effects of ply thickness

Ryoma Aoki et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the damage evolution of thin-ply composites and proposes a mechanics model that considers diffuse and discrete interply damage. Loading and unloading tests were conducted to evaluate the influence of ply thickness on damage evolution, resulting in formulated damage evolution laws dependent on ply thickness. The proposed model successfully captures the retardation and suppression effects of thin-ply, and accurately predicts stiffness degradation and failure strength of laminates with different ply thicknesses.

Tharan Gordon et al.

Summary: Composite laminate thickness tapering is crucial for weight efficient structures. A novel tape scarfing method was used to apply a tapered profile to dropped ply ends in this study, showing that scarfing can completely suppress delamination in certain configurations, with retained higher performance.

Effects of ply angle and blocking on open-hole tensile strength of composite laminates: A design and certification perspective

T. R. C. Chuaqui et al.

Summary: The strength of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic laminates under open-hole tension can be significantly affected by ply angle, ply blocking, and loading direction. Experimental and finite element analysis testing shows that matrix damage can both benefit and decrease strength, with a proposed numerical edge treatment resulting in up to 80% strength increases by suppressing edge failure in certain applications. These findings challenge the validity of standard open-hole tension testing and design rules.
