Abstract:

In order to investigate the effect of layers on the torsional mechanical properties and failure modes of braided composite tubes, the over-braiding process and the vacuum-assisted resin infusion molding process were adopted in preparing 3 types of carbon fiber/resin braided composite tubes with 2, 3 and 4 layers. By setting up a non-contact full-field torsion strain test platform, the torsional mechanical responses of the braided composite tubes with different layers were studied. Using the scanning electron microscopy and microcomputer tomography technologies, the torsion failure mechanism of the braided composite tubes was analyzed. The results show that the braided composite tubes exhibit elastic and brittle fracture characteristics under torsional load, and spatial spiral shear band damage zones through the tube wall are formed. The increase in the number of braided layers promotes the stable spread of stress and strain, and reduces delamination damage of the overall structure. The failure torque of the composite tube with 4 braided layers reaches 450.00 N·m, which is 1.39 times and 2.20 times that of tubes with 3 and 2 braided layers, respectively. The failure modes mainly include fiber fracture or splitting, debonding, matrix cracking or chipping. There is little difference in the types of failure modes at the macro scale. But at the micro scale, the less the number of braided layers is associated to, the more obvious the fiber failure in the tubes.
