Thermoplastic composites enable new manufacturing techniques such as conduction welding to make the aviation industry more sustainable, while at the same time, provide great benefits to cost-efficient high-volume production. One of the benefits of welding is that it reduces the amount of mechanical fasteners required. Fastener-free joining also...

According to experiments the fatigue damage behaviour of fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) experiences a load sequence effect. In this report the ability of the cohesive fatigue damage model of Dávila (2020) to simulate the behaviour after a load amplitude change is investigated. For this a double cantilever beam (DCB) with fictitious material...

The complex failure mechanisms involved in failure of interfaces requires the use of an accurate description of the cohesive law. In recent years, there have been many developments to determine the full shape of the cohesive law. However, most of the existing cohesive zone models assume a simplified shape, such as bilinear, trapezoidal or...

Through the application of innovative production processes, thermoplastic composites might help the aviation industry become more sustainable. However, there is currently not much experimental understanding on the fatigue behaviour, and validated analysis methodologies on thermoplastic composites are rather limited. In this work, the fatigue...

Designing and modeling compatibilized polymer blends require accurate interface model. In addition, it is possible that crazing occurs during failure of the interfaces leading to large deformation prior to complete failure and therefore must be accounted for by the interface model.<br/><br/>A preliminary literature review showed that existing...

A novel efficient numerical formulation for the analysis of multiple fatigue-driven delamination cracks is presented. A cohesive zone model is used in combination with an Adaptive Refinement Scheme (ARS) and an Adaptive Floating Node Method (A-FNM) element that refine the model effectively during the analysis. Novel techniques are proposed to...

A numerical study on toughening laminated composite materials against delamination by initiating multiple interlaminar cracks is presented. Different configurations of interface toughening and weakening patches, that modify the interface properties at selected locations, are investigated as a way to trigger multiple delaminations. Both...

This paper evaluates the capabilities of the recently developed CF20 cohesive fatigue model, which can predict crack initiation as well as the rates of crack propagation by relying on intrinsic relationships between a stress-life diagram and its corresponding Paris law. The model is validated here using a partially reinforced double...

A numerical study on the feasibility of using patches of interface weakening or toughening material to trigger multiple delaminations toughening laminated composite structures against delamination is presented. The studies use an adaptive refinement formulation that uses cohesive elements to model delamination initiation and propagation. A DCB...

Energetic materials have widespread applicability in various fields of engineering as propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics. The Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) is investigating additive manufacturing of solid propellants. As part of this investigation, TNO developed a new polymer binder mix for solid...

Surface cracks are serious threats to the structural integrity of offshore metallic pipes. This dissertation proposes a protocol of composite reinforcement on surface cracked metallic pipes subjected to cyclic loads, aiming to decrease the crack growth rate and prolong the residual fatigue life. The main objective of this dissertation is to...

This study presents calibration and validation of a cohesive extended finite element model for fatigue crack propagation in ductile materials. The approach relies on a separation between plasticity around the crack tip and fatigue crack growth at the crack tip such that the influence of plasticity on fatigue driving forces is predicted. This...

In recent times, composite materials are widely applied in the construction industry because of their superior properties compared to traditional materials like steel and concrete. The use of composite materials in defense and infrastructure protective applications to resist high rate dynamic loading conditions has been gaining the interest of a...

Tubular adhesive joints, used in truss structures to join pultruded carbon fibre-reinforced polymer members to aluminium nodes, are modelled with varying dimensions. The numerical model uses a Cohesive Zone Modelling formulation with a trapezoidal traction-separation law for the adhesive layer, and experimental tests are carried to validate...

Cohesive Element (CE) is a well-established finite element for fracture, widely used for the modelling of delamination in composites. However, the computational time of CE-based method is prohibitive. This is because the steep and non-smooth stress gradient in the cohesive zone requires a very fine mesh. In this context, a new type of CE is...

It is well established that, at small loads, a linear relation exists between contact area and reduced pressure for elastic bodies with non-adhesive rough surfaces. In the case of adhesive contacts, however, there is not yet a general consensus on whether or not linearity still holds. In this work evidence is provided, through numerical...

Joining of aerospace structures has been accomplished using mechanical fasteners since the advent of flight. With the growing application of lightweight composite structures in aircrafts, joining methods involving fasteners have been under scrutiny. The lack of material plasticity and high notch sensitivity of composites in the presence of...

The fatigue life prediction of post-buckled composite structures represents still an unresolved issue due to the complexity of the phenomenon and the high costs of experimental testing. In this paper, a novel numerical approach, called “Min-Max Load Approach” is adopted to analyze the behavior of a single-stringer composite specimen with an...

This paper focuses on a novel numerical formulation based on cohesive elements and S-N diagram to simulate fatigue-driven delamination in composite laminates. The constitutive model adopts a two-parameters heuristic equation, which coefficients are evaluated using an idealization of the S-N diagram rather than the more commonly used Paris law....

Structures are subjected to cyclic loads that can vary in direction and magnitude, causing constant amplitude mode I simulations to be too simplistic. This study presents a new approach for fatigue crack propagation in ductile materials that can capture mixed-mode loading and overloading. The extended finite element method is used to deal with...
