Distribution of axial yarns on the localized deformation and damage mechanism of triaxial braided composite tubes
Abstract Localized deformation and damage mechanism of triaxial braided composite tubes, with different quantities and positions of axial yarns, were experimentally studied under transverse low-velocity impact. A high-speed infrared thermography was applied to analyze the transient thermo-mechanical failure process and afterwards verified by the external and internal damage characterization. It is found that the distribution of axial yarns has a significant effect on the mechanical behavior of braided composite tubes. The bending stiffness and peak force of the tubes were enhanced with the increased quantity of axial yarns, while the impact lasting time and displacement presented an opposite trend. And the more axial yarns assembled at the impact side, the greater force oscillatory of the tubes under low-velocity impact, accompanied by the decreased heat generation in small-angle braided tubes and the alleviated fiber tows fracture, delamination and in-plane shear cracks inside the wall of large-angle braided tubes. On the premise of the same quantity of axial yarns, the position effect plays a key role. Axial yarns concentrated at the impact side could restrain the damages spreading to the non-impact side by changing the damage mode of large-angle braided tubes. If a larger force is needed at the early stage, axial yarns could be inserted at the local position most probably to be impacted; Otherwise, it is highly suggested to braid at least one axial yarn in each layer at the impact side and non-impact side respectively to reinforce localized strength and prevent the impact-side indentation and non-impact-side delamination.
Highlights High-speed IR thermography verified by the external and internal damage characterization. Effect of axial yarn quantity and location on mechanical behavior and damage mechanism. Force oscillation response caused by dense distribution of axial yarns at the impact side. Necessity of axial yarns in alleviating the severity of localized damages at the impact side. Importance to install at least one axial yarn at the non-impact side of large-angle braided tube.
