Failure Types

The failure types and ultimate loads for eight carbon-epoxy laminate specimens with a central circular hole subjected to tensile load were tested experimentally and simulated using two different progressive failure analysis (PFA) methodologies. The first model used a lamina level modeling based on the Hashin criterion and the Camanho stiffness degradation theory to predict the damage of the fiber and matrix. The second model implemented a micromechanical analysis technique coined the generalized method of cells (GMC), where the 3D Tsai–Hill failure criterion was used to govern matrix failure, and the fiber failure was dictated by the maximum stress criterion. The progressive failure methodology was implemented using the UMAT subroutine within the ABAQUS/implicit solver. Results of load versus displacement and failure types from the two different models were compared against experimental data for the open hole laminates subjected to tensile displacement load. The results obtained from the numerical simulation and experiments showed good agreement. Failure paths and accurate damage contours for the tested specimens were also predicted.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

Experimental and numerical investigations were carried out to study the temperature effect on the stiffness, strength, and failure behaviors of carbon/polyimide composite laminates. Both unnotched laminates and open-hole laminates were tested under tension load at three temperatures (room temperature, 200 ℃, and 250 ℃). A three-dimensional finite element analysis was carried out to study the thermomechanical coupling behavior in the notched laminate. The model considers each layer and interface as a single element in the thickness direction so that in-plane stress and interlaminar stress could be analyzed in the model. The stresses around the open-hole changing characteristics with the temperature and tensile loading have been discussed in detail. Failure analysis was carried out to predict the residual strength of the notched laminates at different temperatures. Compared to the experimental data, the numerical results have an excellent agreement.

This work presents a study of flexural testing as a convenient method for ranking drilling trials of composite materials. The work includes an experimental study of drilling parameter effects on composite laminate hole quality as measured by static tension, compression and flexural open hole tests. Flexural testing and results processed in terms of the outermost 0° layer provides a consistent ranking of holes drilled with different process parameters despite only subtle changes in static notched strength for the thick composite samples tested. Specific observations from flexural tests are consistent with current drilling practices in terms of best process parameter settings and the method shows sufficient sensitivity to distinguish between the effects of drill-entry and drill-exit damage and subtle changes in lay-up.

Simple Approximate Solution

A simple approximate solution has been derived for the stress distribution near a circular hole applicable to any orthotropic composite laminate subjected to biaxial loading. The degree of accuracy of this solution was found to be overall acceptable, but strongly dependent upon the laminate lay-up and biaxiality ratio.
