Stacking Sequence Effects on Fatigue Intra-laminar Damage Progression in Composite Joints
Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper the effects of the stacking sequence on the fatigue intra-laminar damage accumulation in pinned composite joints is investigated. A fatigue damage propagation numerical model based on gradual material degradation rules and Hashin fatigue failure criteria is formulated, implemented in a finite element platform and then used to simulate the intra-laminar fatigue damage evolution in the analysed composite joints. The model has been preliminary validated against literature experimental data in terms of s-n curves providing confirmation of its effectiveness in predicting the joints fatigue life. Different stacking sequences: zero-dominated, quasi-isotropic, cross-ply with different 0 ° and 90 ° plies distributions, have been considered when investigating the influence of the stacking sequence on the fatigue behaviour of the joints. The simulation of the joints’ fatigue life provided detailed information on the intra-laminar damage mechanisms on-set and evolution related to fatigue gradual degradation of material stiffness and strength for different values of the applied maximum stresses.
