The in-plane mechanical properties of 2.5D woven polymeric matrix composites

The in-plane mechanical properties of 2.5D woven polymeric matrix composites
The in-plane mechanical properties of 2.5D woven polymeric matrix composites

With reinforcing fibres in the through thickness direction, 2.5D woven polymeric matrix composites (PMC) are more resistant to penetration and delamination when subjected to impact loadings than laminated composites. However, the mechanical properties of 2.5D woven PMCs, especially those with the carbon fibres which aerospace industries are interested in, e.g. IM7 carbon fibres, are reported rather inadequately. This paper presents the experimental characterisation of four types of 2.5D woven PMCs, namely one with IM7 carbon fibres, one with T300 carbon fibres and two with E-glass fibres. Their in-plane mechanical properties and failure modes under the quasi-static (QS) tensile, compressive and shear loadings are reported.

Abstract

With reinforcing fibres in the through thickness direction, 2.5D woven polymeric matrix composites (PMC) are more resistant to penetration and delamination when subjected to impact loadings than laminated composites. However, the mechanical properties of 2.5D woven PMCs, especially those with the carbon fibres which aerospace industries are interested in, e.g. IM7 carbon fibres, are reported rather inadequately. This paper presents the experimental characterisation of four types of 2.5D woven PMCs, namely one with IM7 carbon fibres, one with T300 carbon fibres and two with E-glass fibres. Their in-plane mechanical properties and failure modes under the quasi-static (QS) tensile, compressive and shear loadings are reported.
