2D Plain and 3D Needle-punched C/SiC Composites: Low-velocity Impact Damage Behavior and Failure Mechanism
Source abstract
Abstract
Continuous carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide (C/SiC) composites are often subjected to low-velocity impacts when utilized as structural materials for thermal protection.However, research on in-plane impact damage and multiple impact damage of C/SiC composites is limited.To investigate the in-plane impact damage behavior of C/SiC composites, a drop-weight impact test method was developed for strip samples, and these results were subsequently compared with those of C/SiC composite plates.Results show that the in-plane impact behavior of C/SiC strip samples is similar to that of C/SiC composite plates.Variation of the impact load with displacement is characterized by three stages: a nearly linear stage, a severe load drop stage, and a rebound stage where displacement occurs after the impact energy exceeds its peak value.Impact damage behavior under single and multiple impacts on 2D plain and 3D needled C/SiC composites was investigated at different impact energies and durations.Crack propagation in C/SiC composites was studied by computerized tomography (CT) technique.In the 2D plain C/SiC composite, load propagation between layers is hindered during impact, leading to delamination and 90 fiber brittle fracture.The crack length perpendicular to the impact direction increases with impact energy increases, resulting in more serious 0 fiber fracture and a larger area of fiber loss.In the 3D needled C/SiC composite, load propagates between the layers during impact through the connection of needled fibers.The fibers continue to provide substantial structural support, with notable instances of fiber pull-off and debonding.Consequently, the impact resistance is superior to that of 2D plain C/SiC composite.When the 3D needled C/SiC composite undergoes two successive impacts of 1.5 J, the energy absorption efficiency of the second impact is significantly lower, accompanied by a smaller impact displacement.Moreover, the total energy absorption efficiency of these two impacts of 1.5 J is lower than that of a single 3.0 J impact.
