| Description | The effect of imbedded delaminations on the compression fatigue behavior of quasi-isotropic, T300/5208, graphite/epoxy laminates was investigated. Teflon imbedments were introduced during panel layup to create delaminations. Static and constant amplitude (R=10, omega = 10 Hz) fatigue tests were conducted. S-N data and half life residual strength data were obtained. During static compression loading, the maximum deflection of the buckled delaminated region was recorded. Under compression fatigue, growth of the imbedded delamination was identified as the predominant failure mode in most of the test cases. Specimens that exhibited others failures had a single low stiffness ply above the Teflon imbedment. Delamination growth during fatigue was monitored using DIB enhanced radiography. In specimens with buried delaminations, the dye penetrant (DIB) was introduced into the delaminated region through a minute laser drilled hole, using a hypodermic needle. A low kV, microfocus, X-ray unit was mounted near the test equipment to efficiently record the cyclic growth of buried delaminations on Polaroid film. |
