Abstract

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) braided composites have excellent structural integrity and damage tolerance. Currently, there are few researches focused on the effect of temperature on tensile failure behaviors of 2D braided composites. In this study, 2D biaxial braided composites with different fiber materials were prepared, and the tensile properties and failure mechanisms of these braided composites at different temperatures were studied by means of the tensile test and the high-definition charge coupled device optical microscope. The results show that temperature has significant effects on the tensile properties and fracture damage of 2D braided composites. As the temperature increases, the tensile properties of the two braided composites decrease obviously, and their external fracture failure becomes subtle, while their internal deformation damage becomes significant. Moreover, the differences between the two fibers in tensile fracture behaviors of composites can be more conspicuously observed at higher temperatures.
