The mechanical properties of fibre‐reinforced thermoplastics and their dependencies on the manufacturing process, fibre properties, fibre concentration and strain rate have been researched intensively for years in order to predict their macroscopic behaviour by numerical simulations as precisely as possible. Including the microstructure in both real and virtual experiments has improved prediction...
Fibre woven thermoplastic composites (FWTC) are widely used in aerospace and other fields because of their excellent performance. During service, FWTC structures are inevitably subjected to low‐velocity impact (LVI), which can cause invisible damage and eventual failure of the material. At the moment, studies on FWTC mostly focused on the orthogonal woven yarns while there's few reports about the...
The failure strain of a tube is a function of the biaxial strain ratio (axial strain/hoop strain) to which it is subjected. The relationship between failure strain and the strain ratio can be determined experimentally using expansion due to compression tests with a tensile load (EDCT), in which a ductile pellet placed inside the tube is compressed axially so it expands in diameter and imposes a hoop...
A temperature gradient was induced in 316 stable austenitic stainless‐steel tension specimens, and the strain and temperature evolution during tensile deformation was monitored using optical and infrared cameras. The combination of global load with full‐field strain and temperature provided local information on the thermomechanical state of the investigated material. The deformation did not fully...
