Description/Abstract
A model is presented for the strength, post-fatigue residual strength and damage propagation in notched, cross-ply carbon fibre/polyetheretherketone (PEEK) laminates. Fracture mechanics principles are used to predict quasi-static damage growth, and the application of a Paris law permits extension to fatigue damage. Strength is predicted by applying a failure criterion based on the tensile stress distribution in the 0° plies, as modified by damage (either quasi-static or fatigue). The volume dependence of strength is included by using a simple Weibull distribution. The parameters of the model are determined from independent experiments. Good agreement with experimental results is obtained. Comparisons are made with previous results from carbon fibre/epoxy laminates. The behaviour of the carbon fibre/PEEK is similar, although the extent of delamination and matrix cracking is reduced owing to the higher inherent toughness of the matrix.
