Abstract

In this work, a method based on X-ray diffraction measurements of internal stresses in embedded metallic ellipsoidal inclusions is briefly described. The method has been recently developed for the determination of residual thermal stresses in high temperature graphite/polyimide composites. The effects of external bending loads and aging on the measurements of the internal stress in unidirectional and woven graphite fiber (T650-35)/polyimide (PMR-15) composites were examined in addition to several other factors, which could influence the accuracy of the stress measurements. Such factors as the volume fraction of inclusions, their aspect ratios and the interaction between individual embedded inclusions were also evaluated in this study. It has been shown that despite its complexity the proposed method can be successfully applied to the evaluation of residual stresses in high temperature polymer matrix composites subjected to external loads and aging.
