Study on Failure Mechanism of Intralaminar Hybrid Carbon/Glass Fiber Braided Composite Pipes under Pressurized Impact

doi:10.3901/JME.2025.23.331

Abstract

Abstract: By using the over-braiding technology to produce different hybrid ratios of carbon/glass fiber intralaminar hybrid tubular preform, the composite pipes are manufactured by the vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding process, and the drop hammer low-velocity pressurized impact test is carried out. The Micro-CT 3D damage reconstruction is used to further investigate the damage extension behavior of the fiber hybrid composite pipes in-depth, and to reveal the influence of the hybrid ratio on the impact toughening performance. The results show that the hybrid fiber can effectively attenuate the loss of bending stiffness before failure, and the hybrid ratio have a significant effect on both of the elastic and failure bending stiffness of the specimen. The damage mode of hybrid pipes is dominated by the fiber characteristics with higher proportion in the layer. When the hybrid ratio is 1∶1, the area of the alternating unit region of hybrid fibers is smaller, which is more conducive to exerting the damage diffusion suppress effect of the braided structure and obtaining a more stable and higher impact resistance, and thus possesses the optimal hybrid synergistic effect.

Key words: intralaminar fiber hybridization, braided pipe, pressurized low-velocity impact, 3D damage reconstruction
