“…The load~teflection characteristics of the tee joint under this form of loading have been reported previously in Refs. [8,23]. The joints failed initially by delamination in the boundary angle on the side in tension.…”

Abstract. A detailed study of the stresses that are developed in a glass reinforced plastic (GRP) tee joint under service loads is described. The joints are fabricated by laminating a boundary angle over a radiused fillet on either side of the 'tee'. Full-field stress characterisation data is provided by a thermoelastic analysis of the tee joint. Calibration procedures that allow the thermoelastic data to be compared with the results of a finite element analysis are detailed. The results of the thermoelastic analysis are compared with values obtained from the finite element analysis. The applicability of thermoelastic analysis as a validation tool for finite element models of composite materials is assessed.

“…This has differentiated between single skin [5] and sandwich [6] configurations. Characterisation under static [7] and fatigue [8] load regimes has been done; this has involved experimentation coupled with numerical analysis. The thrust of the experimental work has been to obtain overall load-deflection features.…”

“…Failure of composite T-joints has also been studied experimentally from different point of view by many investigators [3,4,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. The initiation of delamination in the composite T-joint is almost always initiated on the joint's corner due to the maximum stresses developed in this region.…”

In this study, a finite element failure model was created using ABAQUS to determine the location where delamination is initiated and its subsequent propagation. The effect of fibre-reinforced structures on delamination behaviour was studied. The composite Tjoints were made of glass fabric infused with epoxy resin using a vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding technique. The veil layer and 3D weave techniques were employed to improve the properties in the through-thickness direction that can delay or prevent delamination when in service. All the pull-out tensile tests were conducted in an Instron testing machine using a specially designed test fixture. The 3D weave T-joints were found to have improved performance under both static and fatigue loading. Increasing the static properties increases fatigue life performance. The location for the through-thickness reinforcement plays an important role in extending fatigue life of the T-joints.
