Amplitude-Dependent Internal Friction Study of Fatigue Deterioration in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic Laminates
AI summary Read the abstract
This materials science study measured amplitude-dependent internal friction in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates during fatigue cycling, successfully detecting the onset of fatigue deterioration at stress levels far below failure. The ability to detect early-stage fatigue in CFRP is important for structural health monitoring of composite materials in aerospace and engineering applications.
The amplitude-dependent internal friction in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates subjected to fatigue cycling has been measured and analyzed to convert into the plastic strain of the order of 10-8 as a function of effective stress. The microplastic flow indeed occurs in the stress range three orders of magnitude lower than the failure stress, and the stress-strain curves tend to shift to a lower stress as the number of cycles increases, thus indicating a decrease in the CFRP strength. The microflow stress at the plastic strain of 1×10-8 keeps a constant value of about 0.4 MPa in the range less than 103 cycles but then decreases gradually, whereas the Young's modulus evaluated from the resonant frequency is almost constant up to 104 cycles where only transverse cracks are found. Thus we can successfully detect the onset of fatigue deterioration by means of the amplitude-dependent internal friction.
