Mechanical properties of non-crimp fabric (NCF) based composites: stiffness and strength
S.V. Lomov, T. Truong Chi and I. Verpoest, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
Abstract:
This chapter explores the behaviour of multiaxial multi-ply warp-knitted carbon/epoxy composites in tension, short beam shear test and in-plane shear test. The mechanical properties are reported and the damage initiation and development is investigated using acoustic emission and X-ray observations. The latter makes clear a sequence of damage progression in non-crimp fabric (NCF) composites under static loading. The behaviour of composites produced from sheared reinforcements is studied next, providing data for assessment of change of NCF composite properties ...
