In situ synchrotron computed tomography study of nanoscale interlaminar reinforcement and thin-ply effects on damage progression in composite laminates
Abstract
In situ X-ray synchrotron radiation computed tomography (SRCT) of carbon fiber composite laminates reveals the first-ever qualitative and quantitative comparisons of 3D progressive damage effects introduced by two mechanical enhancement technologies: aligned nanoscale fiber interlaminar reinforcement and thin-ply layers. The technologies were studied individually and in combination, using aerospace-grade unidirectional prepreg standard-thickness (‘std-ply’) and thin-ply composite laminates. The relatively weak interlaminar regions of the laminates were reinforced with high densities of aligned carbon nanotubes (A-CNTs) in a hierarchical architecture termed ‘nanostitching’. Quasi-isotropic double edge-notched tension (DENT) laminates were tested and simultaneously 3D-imaged via SRCT at various load steps, revealing a progressive 3D network of damage micro-mechanisms that were segmented according to modality and extent. For load steps of 0%, 70%, 80%, and 90% of baseline ultimate tensile strength (UTS), intralaminar matrix cracking and fiber/matrix interfacial debonding are found to be the dominant damage mechanisms, common to all laminate types. For both std-ply and thin-ply, nanostitched laminates had qualitatively and quantitatively similar matrix damage modality and extent compared to the baseline laminates through 90% UTS, including relatively few delaminations, despite an ~9% increase in std-ply nanostitched UTS over the std-ply baseline. Complementary finite element-based modeling of damage predicts greater delamination extent in std-ply vs. thin-ply laminates that manifests only between 90% and 100% UTS, offering an explanation for the observed positive nanostitch effect in the std-ply, which is known to be more susceptible to delamination formation and growth than the thin-ply laminates. Thin-ply, with and without nanostitch, intrinsically suppresses matrix damage, as expected from past work and evidenced here by 6.5X less overall matrix damage surface area vs. std-ply baseline laminates averaged over all ...
