Amplitude-Dependent Internal Friction Study of Fatigue Deterioration in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic Laminates

AI summary Read the abstract

This study measured amplitude-dependent internal friction in carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates subjected to fatigue cycling to characterize microplastic flow and fatigue deterioration. The results revealed that microplastic strain on the order of 10-8 occurs in the stress range below the macroscopic elastic limit.

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.
