Viscoelastic investigation of interfacial damage of glass and carbon fibers composite materials

Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Glass/Epoxy and Carbon/Epoxy unidirectional composite materials have been subjected to cyclic ondulated loading of three points bending specimens. The viscoelastic properties of the new or damaged materials are recorded with a Polymer laboratories PL/DMTA viscoelasticimeter working at 10 Hz. The viscoelastic behavior of samples subjected to various dynamic shear strains has also been investigated with a computer driven Metravib viscoanalyser.

The results show that under fatigue stresses, glass/epoxy interface has permanent damage leading to large damping while carbon/epoxy one seems to have only intermittent damage leading to lower damping and better fatigue properties.
