Abstract:

In order to simulate and predict the complex mechanical characteristics of 3-D braided composites against impact, a multi-scale meso-structure method was used to establish an equivalent combination model of 3-D braided composites to study impact behavior of braided composites. Impact damage evolution, crack propagation and energy absorption were examined numerically. 4- and 5-directional 3-D braided structures were used to prepare braided composites, and the equivalent combination model was established according to the obtained braid parameters. A drop weight impact tester equipped with a high-speed camera was used to record the fracture behavior of the 4-directional 3-D and 5-directional 3-D braided composites under low-speed impact. The 3-D braided composite equivalent combination models were validated by the fracture behavior obtained from the experiments. The simulation results show that under the same volume fraction, the axial yarn exhibits the highest energy absorption. Due to the presence of axial yarns, the 5-directional 3-D braided composites have better crack resistance and crack propagation than the 4-directional 3-D braided composites.

Key words: 3-D braided composite, model construction, impact fracture behavior, specific energy absorption, finite element analysis
