Slow crack growth in laminate composites via in-situ X-ray tomography and simulations

Imad Hanhan et al.

Summary: A compact tension T650/5320 laminate composite was characterized using in-situ X-ray tomography to analyze the damage mechanisms during cyclic loading. The 3D image processing analysis revealed the presence of intralaminar cracking and delamination facilitating ply cross-over. A finite element analysis was conducted to compute the change in stored energy per cycle, dU/dN, which showed that the observed intralaminar crack growth rates collapsed to a single curve.

Crack growth in adhesives: Similitude and the Hartman-Schijve equation

R. Jones et al.

Summary: This study examines fatigue crack growth in toughened epoxy adhesives used in automotive and aerospace industries, finding that crack growth curves are related to adhesive layer thickness, but this dependency disappears when considering crack-driving force. Similar observations are recorded when effects of test temperature are considered, suggesting that the parameter Delta kappa appears to be a valid similitude parameter.

A novel total fatigue life model for delamination growth in composite laminates under generic loading

Liaojun Yao et al.

Summary: A new total fatigue life model for delamination growth in composites has been proposed in this study, which can appropriately characterize the FDG behavior under various fatigue loading conditions. By obtaining master resistance curves, the FDG behavior under different R-ratios can be determined, with these curves shifting downwards with mode mixity changes.
