The aim of this research is to investigate the failure mechanisms of filament-wound composite tubes under axial compressional loading using an acoustic emission approach. Experimental tests and numerical simulations were conducted to study the mechanical properties, buckling phenomenon, and crashworthiness characteristics of the tubes. The results showed that the damage behavior of the composite tubes was mainly dominated by local buckling and longitudinal cracks, and the fiber breakage and fiber/matrix separation controlled the damage and energy absorption.
The aim of this research is to investigate the failure mechanisms of the filament-wound composite tubes under axial compressional loading by using an acoustic emission approach. First, the mechanical properties of & PLUSMN;45 & DEG;C composite tubes were obtained experimentally. Then, failure due to the buckling phenomenon and crashworthiness characteristics were studied utilizing numerical simulation and experimental methods. Tubes were next simulated in ABAQUS software, and a continuum damage mechanics model was implemented in a progressive framework to assess the failure modes. From the macroscale view, results showed that the damage behavior of composite tubes turned out to be dominated by local buckling followed by a post-buckling field, which is generated by longitudinal cracks along the winding direction. On the micro-scale, the acoustic emission-based procedure based on the wavelet packet transform method was adopted. The hierarchical modeled assessment resulted in the identity of four clusters of AE signals. In GFRP tubes, the fiber breakage and fiber/matrix separation could mostly control the higher percentage of damage and cause to increase the energy absorption. Finally, by comparing the results obtained from micro and macro scales, the local buckling failure mode was attributed to the low content of fiber/matrix debonding in the structure.
