Fracture of Random Short-Fiber SMC Composite

Abstract: The fracture behavior of random chopped-strand, glass-fiber reinforced SMC composites was studied. Experiments were conducted on notched SMC-R50 composite plates subjected to inplane loading. Fracture mechanics analyses based on recently developed conservation laws of solid mechanics were performed to evaluate notch-tip stress intensities in the specimens. Fracture toughnesses, K IQ and K IIQ , of this material under individual mode-I and mode-II loading were determined. Fracture tests and subsequent analyses … Show more

“…1). In the last four decades the attention of researchers was focused mostly on the mode I fracture of short fiber composites [1], glass/epoxy laminate [2] and woven composite materials [3]. Mode II delamination has received some attention with the development of some well established tests [4,5].…”

“…the angle of the V-notch and the ratio of notch depth to specimen width) has been determined for various cases with different degrees of composite anisotropy [15]. The mixed-mode fracture specimens used in this study are of the same type as those in [10]. Since no explicit mathematical relationship is currently available for determining the macroscopic critical stress intensity factors in finite-dimensional composite panels under mixed-mode loading, an approach with combined fracture experiments and the anisotropic elasticity solution aided by a suitable numerical scheme developed in [16] is used to analyze the mode-II and mixed-mode fracture problems in the composite.…”
