A novel fixture for determining the tension/compression-shear failure envelope of multidirectional composite laminates

Abstract: A new approach for biaxial loading of fibre reinforced composites is presented, based on the use of a Modified Arcan Fixture (MAF). In addition to combined tension-shear loading which can be achieved using a conventional Arcan fixture, the MAF allows the application of pure compression and compression-shear loading. Digital Image Correlation is used to obtain the full-field deformations of the specimens to establish the load response and failure behaviour for a range of multiaxial stress-strain states. The app… Show more

“…The aim of the present paper is to develop a nonlinear, pressure sensitive constitutive model for UD composites under in-plane multiaxial loading that can be fully calibrated using a Modified Arcan Fixture (MAF) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) [16]. The MAF [17] is a novel biaxial test rig which can be used in a standard test machine to characterise UD composites in the full combined The front view of the MAF and the 'butterfly' specimen configuration used is shown in Fig. 2.…”

“…Further details on the MAF and the experimental set-up can be found in [17]. The MAF can subject the specimens to different combined tension/shear and compression/shear stress states by varying the pairs of loading holes (designated by the angle α).…”
