Residual Stiffness

Based on tension–tension fatigue tests, this paper investigated the mechanical property degradation of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons from a macroscopic perspective. According to the degradation regularity, this paper proposed a normalized phenomenological fatigue model based on the residual stiffness/strength of CFRP tendons during the fatigue loading process. In this paper, the residual stiffness of CFRP tendons were tested at five stress ranges, while the residual strength was tested at four stress ranges. In order to validate the reliability and applicability of proposed fatigue damage model, the predictions of proposed model and cited models from the literature are discussed and compared. Furthermore, experimental results from literatures were adopted to verify the accuracy of the proposed model. The results showed that the proposed model is applicable to predict both residual stiffness and residual strength throughout fatigue life cycle and has a better accuracy than models from the literature. Moreover, the three-stage degradation can be observed from the degradation processes of stiffness and strength at each stress level.

In this paper, a finite element model (FEM) was developed to investigate failure mechanism and compression after impact (CAI) strength of woven carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) after low-velocity impact (LVI) subjected to biaxial compressive loading. A built-in VUMAT user-defined material subroutine was adopted to take into account the in-plane damage and intralaminar delamination under LVI loading and in-plane compression. The LVI response, failure pattern, and residual mechanical properties under uniaxial compression were compared to the available experimental data to verify the numerical model. The damage initiation, subsequent evolution, final failure modes, and residual strength of the composite laminates with LVI damages subjected to biaxial compressive loading are presented by numerical methods, and the effects of impact energy and impactor diameter on the residual strength of the laminates are discussed.

Stress Concentrations

There are many instances where the use of weight saving composite materials for an entire structure is either; too complex, too expensive or unfeasible. In these circumstances the use of a hybrid structure can incorporate the benefits of traditional construction materials, for example steel, coupled with the advantages of composite materials in weight critical areas. In the present study, an investigation was undertaken into the fatigue life characterisation of a hybrid joint for marine application. In addition the residual strength of the joint, after a fixed number of fatigue cycles, was assessed under axial compression and bending loads. A progressive damage model was developed to predict the location of major stress concentrations, the path of damage and subsequent loss in stiffness of the joint under axial compression.

A model of attenuation of residual strength with number of cycles has been founded .In this model the constant confined stress and maximum stress of fatigue loading are both considered. 55 specimens of plain concrete are tested under biaxial compressive fatigue loading with constant confined stress. Based on the data of experiment, the coefficients of the model are determined. The residual strength attenuating curves are shown in the paper. The model can be used to predict the residual life of specimen under biaxial compressive loading with constant confined stress. The results of prediction show that the suggested method is better than the Miner rule.

Unique Parameter

The present paper focus on the residual strength of pitted mild steel rectangular plate under biaxial compression. This paper aims to propose a general and practical formula to predict the residual strength of pitted rectangular plates under biaxial compression starting from the classic formula for intact rectangular plates and assessing whether it can be applicable to pitted plates, where the degree of pitting corrosion is modelled as one key parameter. Firstly, the numerical model is verified with an existing case study. Afterwards, a series of nonlinear FEM analysis are performed, changing geometrical attributes of both pits and plates, i.e., the radius and location of pits and the slenderness of plates. Based on those simulation results, it is found that the classic formula for intact rectangular plates can be applied reasonably well for pitting corroded plates. A unique parameter DOP (degree of pitting), which is easily determined, is employed to evaluate the effect of pitting corrosion with adequately accuracy and without bias to either longitudinal or transverse compressive stress. The proposed formula can provide guidance during the process of ship structural maintenance decision-making and strength reassessment conveniently.
