PLY-BY-PLY DELAMINATION MORPHOLOGY IN COMPOSITE LAMINATES UNDER LOW-VELOCITY IMPACT

Maria Francesca Pernice (University of Bath) Andrew Rhead (University of Bath)

 

Impact of quasi-isotropic, zero dominated and non-symmetric composite laminates shows delamination shape depends on the fibre orientation in the bounding plies at each interface and always extends in the fibre direction of the lower ply.

OPTIMISING THE PLY DROPPING ORDER IN VARIABLE STIFFNESS, VARIABLE THICKNESS LAMINATES USING STACKING SEQUENCE TABLES

Daniël Peeters (Delft University of Technology) François-Xavier Irisarri (ONERA-The French aerospace Lab) Mostafa Abdalla (Delft University of Technology)

 

The stacking sequence table method, optimising the ply drop order, is combined with a gradient-based optimisation, optimising the fibre angle distribution and ply drop location, to generate optimised variable stiffness, variable thickness laminates.

STACKING SEQUENCE OPTIMIZATION OF CURVED UD-CFRP LAMINATES FOR IMPROVING UNFOLDING STRENGTH CONSIDERING THERMAL RESIDUAL STRESSES

Juan Manuel González-Cantero (FIDAMC) Enrique Graciani (Universidad de Sevilla) Federico París (Universidad de Sevilla) Bernardo López (FIDAMC)

 

The present study shows results of a new analytical model to analyse the effect of residual stresses, due to the cooling after solidification in the manufacturing process, on the unfolding failure. Results are used to optimize the stacking sequence.

STRESS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN SUGGESTIONS FOR MULTI-LOOP CARBON ROVING ROSETTES TO REINFORCE BOLT-LOADED OPEN-HOLE LAMINATES

Luise Kärger (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) Tim Botzkowski (EDAG Engineering GmbH) Siegfried Galkin (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) Sebastian Wagner (Natural and Medical Sciences Institute (NMI)) Sebastian Sikora (German Aerospace Center)

 

An alternative to TFP is presented, where winded carbon rovings are twisted around a bolt. Based on an experimentally validated, mesoscopic FE model generator, various multi-loop configurations are evaluated in terms of stresses and damage behavior.

THE INFLUENCE OF FIBRE ANGLE AND RESIN PROPERTIES ON UNCURED INTERPLY SHEAR

Samuel Erland (University of Bath) Timothy Dodwell (University of Exeter) Richard Butler (University of Bath)

 

Interply shear is investigated for angled ply interfaces using a previously established methodology. Results are discussed with the aid of surface topology data, with a view towards validating findings on a laminate scale demonstrator.
