Abstract

In this paper, fracture behavior of laminated composites with notch was studied by cohesive zone modeling approach. The numerical modeling proceeded by first generating 3 dimensional solid element meshes for notched laminated composite coupon configurations. Then cohesive elements representing failure modes of fiber fracture, matrix cracking and delamination were inserted between bulk elements in all regions where the corresponding failures were likely to occur. Next, progressive failure analyses were performed simulating uniaxial tensile tests. The numerical results were compared to those by experiment available in the literature for verification of the analysis approach. Finally, notched laminated composite configurations with selected stacking sequences were analyzed and the failure behavior was carefully examined focusing on the failure initiation and progression and the dominating failure modes.

본 논문에서는 응집영역 모델링 기법을 사용하여 노치가 있는 적층복합재료의 파괴거동을 연구하였다. 먼저 노치가 있는 적층복합재료 시편형상에 대해 일반 3차원 고체요소로 모델링 한 후 요소들 사이에 섬유파괴, 기지파괴 및 층간분리 파괴를 담당하는 응집요소를 삽입하여 유한요소 메쉬를 제작하였다. 다음으로 일축인장 시험을 모사하는 하중 및 경계조건을 가하여 점진적 파괴해석을 수행하고 해석결과를 참고문헌의 실험결과와 비교하여 해석의 타당성을 검증하였다. 수치해석 결과로부터 노치가 있는 적층복합재료 인장시편의 파괴시작 및 진전거동을 분석하였으며 파괴모드의 진전을 체계적으로 조사하였다.
