Effect of Defects Part II: Multiscale Effect of Microvoids, Orientation of Rivet Holes on the Damage Propagation, and Ultimate Failure Strength of Composites

Material properties at the vicinity of the cut-outs in composites are not entirely defect-free. The nteraction of multiple cutouts like rivet holes, the repercussion of their configuration on crack propagation, and ultimate strength were predicted using Peridynamic method and the results are reporte...

description Material properties at the vicinity of the cut-outs in composites are not entirely defect-free. The nteraction of multiple cutouts like rivet holes, the repercussion of their configuration on crack propagation, and ultimate strength were predicted using Peridynamic method and the results are reported in this article. The effect of microscale defects at the vicinity of the cutouts on macroscale damage propagation were shown to have quantifiable manifestation. This study focused on two to four holes in unidirectional composite plates with 0°, 45°, and 90° fiber directions, while the vicinity of a hole was considered degraded. Numerical results were validated using quantitative ultrasonic image correlation (QUIC) and the tensile test. Both the experimental and numerical results confirmed that the strength of the horizontal configuration is higher than the vertical in the plates with two holes. Furthermore, the square configuration was found to be stronger than the diamond configuration with four holes. When the effect of microscale defects was considered, the prediction of ultimate strength was better compared to the experimental results. The predictive model could be reliably used for progressive damage analysis.
