The Research on Oblique Crack Tip Deformation Field of Airship Envelope Composites Based on the Digital Speckle Correlation Method

Abstract:

The tearing mechanical properties and the deformation field distribution of 45 degree oblique direction of the crack tip was studied on the stratospheric airship envelope reinforced by plain woven Kevlar-fiber composite. Here, the material samples were prefabricated with the initial length of 20mm unilateral incision, and the digital speckle correlation experimental method was used to obtain the perpendicular crack tip displacement and strain fields with artificial spots under mono-axial tear test. The results show the deformation field changes with the characteristic of discrete step and the strain concentration phenomenon, and the strain concentration zone expands as increasing tensile load. The warp and weft step maximum displacement reaches 6.00mm and 1.7mm, and deformation in every step exhibits a diminishing step law, the warp deformation in the rear area of the crack tip are evenly, while the shear and weft strain volatile in a wide range
