1 Hygrothermal stresses in laminates Changing environment conditions (temperature and moisture) have an important effect on the properties which are matrix dominated. Change in temperaturet and moisture content tinduces swelling of the polymer matrix. Temperature effect on polymers Various epoxy resins Glass transition temperature The maximum usage temperature is slightly smaller than T g 1

2 Thermal expansion of unidirectional composites is strongly anisotropic Longitudinal CTE of Kevlar has a negative value Longitudinal CTEof Graphite composite close to zero 2

5 Thermal expansion: Thermal strains for an orthotropic material in (L,T) frame: (no thermal shear in L T frame) Hygroscopic expansion: Changes in moisture concentration are responsible for swelling of the matrix material Moisture induced strains in orthotropic material in (L,T) (,) frame: (no moisture induced shear in L T frame) Moisture diffusion is governed by the diffusion equation Fick s second law D z = mass diffusivity along z z y g Very similar to the heat conduction equation: 5

6 Change of coordinates of hygrothermal expansion coefficients Strain tensor: Thermal shear 6

7 Thermal strains Hygroscopic strain Do not produce a resultant force or moment when the body is completely free to expand, bend and twist. Anindividuallaminaisrestrained lamina is by the other laminaeand and isnot free to expand. This induces thermal stresses. The thermal stresses are internal stresses: they are self equilibrated. Total strains = mechanical strains + hygrothermal strains Mechanical strains Total lamina strains Follow the kinematics of Kirchhoff plates: Linear over the thhickness 7

8 Mechanical strains (associated with stresses) If there is no external loading, the resultant forces {N} and moments {M} are such that {N}=0 {M}=0 (hygrothermal loads are self equilibrated) 8

9 The global ldf deformations are solution of: Thermal loads: For a symmetric ti laminate B=0 {M T }={M H }=0 Thermal stresses are unavoidable in the fabrication of composites. The residual stresses due to curing have a significant effect on failure and should not be neglected in the design. Non symmetric laminates will experience warping during cooling. 9

10 Example 6.10: Non symmetric two ply laminate (glass epoxy) (5mm at 0 and 3mm at 45 ) Fabricated at 125 C and cooled at room temperature 25 C Stiffness matrix of one ply in principal material axes: 10

11 Thermal loads: 11

12 Thermal loads: Global l df deformations of the laminate: Thermal moments Non symmetric laminate Warping!! 12

13 For each ply, Same for all plies 13

14 Stresses in the 0 ply 14

15 15

16 The residual stresses are self equilibrated 16

17 Logitudinal CTE (micromechanical model) 1. The fibers and the matrix experience the same strain 2. The load is shared between the fibers and the matrix Transverse CTE (Schapery): Approximation for V f >0.25: 17

18 Example: Glass epoxy system The CTE in longitudinal direction is dominated by the fiber. 18

19 Moisture expansion coefficient 1. Isotropic material: Extension: Relative change of volume: Moisture content: Relative volume change: 2. Composites: Polymer matrices absorb moisture; inorganic fibers do not. The expansion in the longitudinal direction is negligible because of the high stiffness of the fibers 19

20 Thermal conductivity Longitudinal direction (rule of mixture) Transverse coefficient may be computed according to Halpin Tsai equation: k f and k m refer to the fibers and the matrix in the appropriate direction (fiber anisitropy) b Fiber cross section a Direction of measurement For circular fibers, a=b 20

21 Example: Find k L and k T for glass epoxy and carbon epoxy for V f =60% (circular fibers) Isotropic Anisotropic Glass epoxy Carbon epoxy Anisotropic! Thermal conduction is very anisotropic. For carbon epoxy composites, the thermal conductivity of the matrix is negligible. 21
