摘要: 碳纳米管/碳纤维增强复合材料(carbon nanotube/carbon fibre reinforced plastic,CNT/CFRP)是一种多尺度复合材料,比传统CFRP有更好的综合性能和更广阔的应用前景。对CNT/CFRP在低速冲击下的响应和破坏进行了数值模拟研究。首先,基于先前的研究通过引入基体增韧因子、残余强度因子并改进损伤耦合方程,建立了新的FRP动态渐进损伤模型;然后,利用新建立的本构模型并结合黏结层损伤模型,对4种碳纳米管含量的增韧碳纤维增强树脂基复合材料层合板在5个能量下的冲击实验进行了数值模拟;最后,将模拟结果与文献中的相关实验结果进行了比较,并讨论了冲击速度的影响。结果表明:新建立的FRP本构模型能够预测CNT/CFRP层合板在低速冲击载荷作用下的响应、破坏过程和分层形貌,模拟得到的载荷-位移曲线和破坏形貌与实验吻合较好;冲击速度会影响CNT/CFRP层合板拉伸和压缩破坏的比例,相同的冲击能量下,更大的冲击速度会造成更多的拉伸破坏。Abstract: Fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) laminates have been widely used in various engineerings due to their excellent mechanical properties. However, FRP laminates may be subjected to impact loading and delamination is one of the major concerns which is caused by the poor performance of matrix and the poor bonding between fibre and matrix. To improve the bonding strength, some toughening technologies have been developed including the modification of matrix by adding nano fillers such as carbon nanotubes. In this paper, numerical simulations of the response and failure of carbon nanotube/carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CNT/CFRP) under low velocity impact loading were performed. Firstly, on the basis of the previous work, a new dynamic progressive damage model for FRP laminates was developed by introducing a matrix toughening factor and a residual strength factor into the damage criterion and damage evolution equation respectively, together with an improved damage coupling equation which was changed from the original sum form to product form. The new dynamic progressive damage model was used to describe the intralaminar damage, and a cohesive element model to describe the interlaminar damage of the CNT/CFRP laminates. Both models were incorporated into the ABAQUS/Explicit finite element program by the user-defined material subroutine VUMAT. Then, numerical simulation was conducted for the response and failure of CNT/CFRP composites subjected to low velocity impact loading. Finally, the numerical results were compared with some available experimental data and the influence of impact velocity was discussed. It transpires that the results predicted from the present model are found to be in good agreement with the test data for CNT/CFRP laminates in terms of load-displacement curve and failure pattern, and the delamination damage at the interlaminar interface decreases gradually with increasing CNT content. It also transpires that the impact velocity affects the ratio of compression and tensile failure of FRP laminates, and under the same impact energy, a larger impact velocity will cause more tensile failure.
