Influencing Factors of Transverse Interface Cracking of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composite

摘要

Usually under a transverse load large enough, interface cracking and matrix fracture will occur to the unidirectional carbon fiber composite. Based on the extended finite element method (XFEM) an d the Surface-based cohesive behavior provided by ABAQUS, some factors, such as the volume fraction of carbon fiber, interface strength and stiffness, were considered to study their effects on the transverse performance of the carbon fiber composite. Which provides a reference for the study of fiber matrix interface and transverse mechanical properties.
