Abstract Results from an experimental investigation on the mechanical behavior of a unidirectional reinforced polymer composite with 50% volume fraction E-glass/vinylester under uniaxial and proportional multiaxial compression are presented. Specimens are loaded in the fiber direction using a servo-hydraulic material testing system for low strain rates and a Kolsky (split Hopkinson) pressure bar for high strain rates, up to 3000 s−1. The results indicate that the compressive strength of the composite increases with increasing levels of confinement and increasing strain rates. Post-test optical and scanning electron microscopy is used to identify the failure modes. The failure mode that is observed in unconfined specimen is axial splitting followed by fiber kink band formation. At high levels of confinement, the failure mode transitions from axial splitting to kink band formation and fiber failure. Also, a new energy based analytic model for studying axial splitting phenomenon in unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites is presented.

The inspection of thin basalt fiber reinforced composite materials was carried out using two nondestructive methods: terahertz time domain imaging and infrared thermography. In order to combine the information about the defects arising in examined materials the inspection results were parametrized. In order to acquire more information content, new approximation based features are proposed. Then, a knowledge extraction based multivariate analysis of preselected features’ vector was carried out. Finally, in order to integrate features distributions of representing different dynamic level of information, a multiresolution wavelet based data fusion algorithm was applied. The results are presented and discussed.

Fiber-reinforced composites used in numerous technical applications have to meet the ever increasing safety requirements. Resistance to extreme stress under high velocity impact loads assumes even greater significance. Previous studies on the behavior of fiber-reinforced composites under impact loads provide little insight about the properties of filament yarns, a basis for many composite applications. Hence this paper focuses on the development of a suitable test method for performing high speed tensile tests on all filament yarn types, and the acquisition and analysis of the test results. This will enable the derivation of material models for their usage in the field of composites applications. Initially, the widely used carbon fiber filament yarns have been tested. The conclusive test results with a reduced yarn clamp mass and high stiffness of the test apparatus indicate that tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of carbon filament yarns increase with higher strain rates.
