Some Examples of “Multi-Physical” Fatigue of Organic Matrix Composites for Aircraft Applications

Abstract:

This paper presents, discusses and review some recent results concerning the interaction between mechanics and the environment during fatigue tests carried out under accelerated environmental conditioning of laminated and woven Organic Matrix Composites (OMC) for high temperature aircraft parts, the synergy between electrical and mechanical fields during electro-mechanical fatigue of composite laminates for fuselage applications the damage behavior of 3D woven OMC under thermal cycling.For all case studies, the capabilities of the PPRIME Institute to perform such tests reproducing “multi-physical” fatigue environment and characterizing the phenomenology associated to multi-physics coupling at several scales will be highlighted. The main issues related to the development of “multi-physics” models for proper interpretation of test results are also reviewed.
