Abstract:

In order to study the open-hole notch effect on compression properties of three dimensional (3-D) braided composites, two types of 3-D braided specimens with ±12° braiding angles were fabricated and tested. One was a purely braided structure, and the other was made by incorporating 58% braiding yarns and 42% longitudinal lay-in yarns. According to relevant standards, quasi-static compression tests of composite specimens with and without notch were carried out respectively, and the results of which were compared with that of laminates. The results show that the compression strength of the two types of 3-D braided composites is very similar, but the pure 3-D braided structure with open holes can retain higher proportion of compression strength. Compared with laminated composites, both types of 3-D braided composites retain to show a higher proportion of compression strength. With regard to the failure behavior under compression loading, the two types of 3-D braided composites are also similar, the specimens fail in shear, showing transverse fracture without delamination.

Key words: 3-D braided composite, open-hole notch, compression strength, axial yarn
