description | The inter-ply sliding behavior is one of the important factors affecting the quality of carbon fiber composite products. In this paper, the inter-ply sliding behavior of the unidirectional prepreg was investigated for the preforming process. The inter-ply sliding resistance of prepreg under different conditions was measured by the homemade measuring device and the lubricating effect of inter-ply resin was identified by the micromorphology. The effect of fiber orientation was quantified by the combined roughness. With the increase of sliding distance, the inter-ply sliding resistance initially increased significantly, and finally maintained a constant value. A phenomenological model of the inter-ply sliding resistance was developed to explain the effects of pressure, velocity, and fiber orientation. This model can accurately describe the inter-ply sliding behavior of prepreg, which can be used for numerical simulation and the optimization of preforming process. |
