Abstract

The compression mechanics of carbon-fiber-reinforced epoxy resin composite (CFRP) laminates with a [0 / 90]8s lay-up were studied by experiments and simulations. To understand the strain rate effect and the in-plane and out-of-plane mechanical behavior of the laminates in the quasi-static and dynamic compression, experiments were performed on them. The micromorphology of their fracture face was observed by a scanning electron microscope. Lastly, a finite-element analysis of CFRPs under quasi-static/dynamic and in-plane/out-of-plane loading conditions was performed by using the MAT-54 material model. The results of quasi-static loading showed that the elastic modulus under in-plane (or out-of-plane) compression of the CFRPs at different strain rates had the same value, but their threshold strains in the elastic area were different. The initial nonlinear effects observed were especially pronounced in the quasi-static stress–strain curves.
