Damage Models

A proposed damage model is used for investigating the deformation and interfacial failure behavior of an adhesively bonded single-lap thick joint made of S2 glass/SC-15 epoxy resin composite material. The bonding material is 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP405 Black. Continuum damage mechanics models are used to describe the damage initiation and final failure at or near the interface. The effect of adhesive overlap length, thickness, and plasticity on the interfacial shear and normal stresses is studied. Experimental and analytical data are used to validate the proposed damage models.

Simulation Results

Abstract A VUMAT user material subroutine for the Lemaitre continuous damage mechanics model was developed based on the finite element solver ABAQUS/Explicit platform to investigate the deformation and failure behavior of 5052 aluminum alloy. The mechanical property parameters and damage parameters of 5052 aluminum alloy were identified by the inversion method combining tensile test and finite element simulation. The numerical simulation results showed that the force-displacement curves predicted by the established damage model were in good agreement with the experimental measurement, and the fracture location was close to the experimental results, which verified the accuracy and effectiveness of the damage parameters. The growth and distribution law of damage variable could be intuitively represented by the simulation results by the Lemaitre damage model.

The Impact

A micro-mechanical composite material model is developed to simulate the behavior of unidirectional composites under impact loading conditions in the nonlinear finite element solver (LS-DYNA®). The nonlinear strain rate and pressure dependency in the composite material model is accounted by the resin, which uses previously developed state variable viscoplastic equations. These equations have been originally developed for metals; however, these are modified to account for the significant contributions of hydrostatic stresses typically observed in polymers. The material model also uses a continuum damage mechanics (CDM) based failure model to incorporate the progressive post-failure behavior. A set of Weibull distribution functions are used to quantify this behavior, and a methodology of assigning physical significance to the choice of damage/softening parameters used in these functions is presented. The impact response of composite laminate plates has been simulated and compared to the experiments. It has been observed that the predicted results compare favorably to the experiments.

In this paper, experimental and numerical methods are used to study the deformation and interfacial failure behavior of an adhesively-bonded thick joint made of multi-layer S2 glass/SC-15 epoxy resin composite material. The adhesive material is 3M Scotch-Weld Epoxy Adhesive DP405 Black. Continuum damage mechanics models are used to describe the damage initiation at or near the interface and final failure process. The effect of adhesive overlap length, thickness and plasticity on the interfacial shear stress and normal stress are studied. Experimental and analytical data are used to validate the proposed damage models.

Safety Features

Structural designs for composite laminated systems can be optimized for a fail-safe in-service performance by introducing the built-in cumulative-damage-indicators for the progressive degradation of material properties. This design methodology is based on the concepts of the characteristic failure signature (CFS), cumulative-damage states and a load-drop sequence that characterize the stress-strain response and progressive accumulation of damage. The cumulative damage mechanics is based on the three-dimensional laminate analysis that is used to predict nonlinear response of composites, accumulation of damage and failure behavior. An earlier-developed nonlinear analysis involves an incremental formulation that couples the three-dimensional laminate analysis with a progressive ply-failure methodology, which has been tested in the World-Wide Exercise on Composites Failure Theories. The failure signatures are shown to have unique “safety features” that depend on the ply stacking sequence and predominant loading. To refine the analysis of micromechanical damage a model for the macro-to-micro coupling is introduced. Various examples of failure envelopes, characteristic failure signatures, a safety criterion and the “safe” CFSs that lead to the desired controlled failures are discussed for symmetric balanced laminates.

Good Agreement

Delamination progressive in carbon nanotubes reinforced composites under applied Short Beam Shear test was studied. Experimental characterization was carried out using ASTM D2344 standard norms for different carbon nanotubes mass fractions ranging from 0 to 4%. Failure modes and the delamination were experimentally characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Kayence microscopy to assess the failure behavior. The numerical model was created under ABAQUS software based on the cohesive zone models. The numerical model was formulated according to the damage mechanics. In these models, the cohesive interaction was implanted between elements of each fabric ply to control the initiation and the propagation of the delamination for different carbon nanotubes fractions. The force–displacement curves vs. carbon nanotubes added were obtained for the numerical model and shown to be in good agreement with the experimental data. The effect of carbon nanotubes on the progressive delamination was elucidated.
