Orientation Dependency and Hysteresis Nature of Inter-Ply Friction in Woven Fabrics
Source abstract
Abstract
Inter-ply slippage is known to be an important mechanism taking place during forming processes of textile composites, especially with respect to multi-layer fabric lay-ups. The coefficient of friction between the plies strongly depends on the structure and the orientation of forming fabric. Despite many numerical and experimental investigations, this dependency and its effect on the interaction between the plies has been overlooked. In this paper, the effect of fiber orientation on the interlayer friction of a typical thermoplastic fabric prepreg at room temperature is investigated. Results, through a polar representation of data, revealed that both static and dynamic coefficients of friction are statistically dependent on the lay-up orientation, applied normal load, along with their interaction. Further, it was identified that the repeated frictional loading of the plies results in a hysteresis, particularly for asymmetric layups due to non-negligible movement and realignment of filaments at the micro-scale. Finally, an empirical model was developed using an interpolation function (for pressure dependency) combined with a Fourier series (for orientation dependency), to predict the coefficients of friction.
