The recent status of Japan's government-driven project to establish carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTP) technology for automotive applications conducted in the National Composites Center (NCC) Japan is introduced first. baseline discontinuous (C-LFT-D: – long thermoplastic-direct) using press compaction. All components target car chassis made aluminum alloy are replaced by C-LFT-D and a 10% weight reduction with same rigidity has been verified. basic physics length...
A measurement technique for obtaining the thermo-viscoelastic properties of glass with high accuracy is discussed. An unidirectional compression creep test was employed to measure relaxation modulus specimens. The function derived from experimental approximated by a generalized Voigt model, and then converted into expressed Maxwell model using Laplace transform its inversion. Relaxation moduli shift factors specimens BK-7 TaF-3 were estimated according presented procedure, verified numerical...
This study aims to predict the transverse crack accumulation behavior of CFRP cross-ply laminates for evaluation their remaining life. The tension-tension fatigue tests were used investigate relationship between and number cycles tests. We also studied damage behavior, including delamination under loading, it was indicated that depends on maximum load proposed a method can using power-law density growth rate energy release associated with single formation. As result, estimate applied laminates.
This paper deals with the damping characteristics of symmetrically laminated plates transverse shear deformation. First, effect laminate configuration on is investigated for cantilevered based Reissner–Mindlin’s first-order deformation theory. To examine configuration, concept specific capacity introduced and are represented lamination parameter plane, where damped stiffness invariants in newly proposed this paper. Next, optimal configurations maximal determined taking into account by using...
Although the electrical-resistance-change method is useful for monitoring delamination cracking of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminates, requires many experiments or FEM analyses to obtain relationship between electrical resistance changes and parameters describing cracking. In our previous studies, one authors proposed using an anisotropic electric potential function analyze current density in CFRP laminates. The was applied only thick present study, expanded thin laminates...
