The characterisation of composite plates used in structural work in the field of aeronautics is approached by associating ultrasound and speckle interferometry measurements. The reduced thickness of the specimens does not allow for gauge instrumentation to measure out-of plane deformation. A system was therefore used which makes it possible to obtain the cartography of the deformations in and out of-plane. This paper describes an application of electronic speckle interferometry in the measurement of through thickness deformation in composites.

This paper deals with the theoretical and experimental mechanical characteristics of composite plates obtained from recyclable polymer and protein matrix and fibrous reinforcement. The definition of the theoretical model of the monolayer composite material with its structural elements and the physical-mechanical evaluation of its characteristics leads to the optimal and efficient design and use of all products made of such materials. By the theoretical and experimental determination of the mechanical characteristics that define the properties of the composite material, it can be decided on its use in specific industrial technical applications.

The homogenization of elastic periodic plates is as follows: The 3D heterogeneous body is replaced by a homogeneous Love-Kirchhoff plate whose stiffness constants are computed by solving an auxiliary boundary problem on a 3D unit cell that generates the plate by periodicity in the in-plane directions. In the present study, a generalization of the above mentioned approach is presented for the random case. The homogenized bending stiffness and the moduli for in-plane deformation of a plate cut from a block of composite material, considered to be a statistically uniform random material in the in-plane directions, are defined in three equivalent manners: a) the first definition considers statistically invariant stress and strain fields in the infinite plate. In the second and third definitions, a finite representative volume element of the plate is submitted to suitable b) kinematically uniform boundary conditions and c) statically uniform boundary conditions. The relationships between these three definitions are studied and bounds are derived.

The results of studying the efficiency of the laser-acoustic method of ultrasonic testing in determination of the degree of polymerization of the matrix of polymer composite material (PCM) are presented. We have studied the PCM samples used for manufacturing integrated structures. It is shown that excessive degree of polymerization of the preformed blanks leads to a decrease in the strength of connection of the structural elements and precludes obtaining the desired shape and geometric dimensions of the product. We developed fundamentally new diagnostic parameters, which are characterized by high reliability and accuracy of determination. To forecast sample curing regimes with given values of the degree of transformation, the reaction kinetics was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry Experimental results used for calculation of the kinetic parameters were obtained on a thermoanalytical complex DSC 1 (Switzerland). The kinetic parameters of polymerization and degree of binder curing in plastics were determined by the thermal effect of the reaction. It is shown that when determining the degree of polymerization of a PCM matrix by an ultrasonic method (laser-acoustic method of exciting ultrasonic vibrations), the product of attenuation of the bottom signal of longitudinal ultrasonic vibrations by the signal round-trip time and energy of the structural noise (thus taking into account the porosity of the material), can be used as reliable parameters of diagnostics. The proposed method provides higher accuracy compared to other methods used for control of the degree of polymerization.

In-plane shear of nanostitched three-dimensional para-aramid/phenolic composites were experimentally investigated. Adding the nanostitched fiber into nanoprepreg para-aramid fabric preform composites slightly improved their shear strengths. The carbon-stitched composite exhibited comparatively better performance compared to the para-aramid stitched composite probably due to well bonding between carbon fiber and phenolic resin. The stitched nano composites had mainly matrix breakages and micro shear hackles in the matrix; matrix debonding and filament pull-out in the composite interface; fibrillar peeling and stripping on the filaments due to angular deformation. This mechanism probably prohibited extensive interlaminar opening in the nanostitched composites. The result exhibited that the introducing of the nano stitched fiber where multiwall carbon nanotubes were transferred to the out-of-plane of the base structure enhanced its transverse fracture as a form of confined delamination area. Therefore, the damaged tolerance properties of the stitched nano composites were enhanced compared to the base.

A strain-based elastic constant identification method is proposed to determine the elastic constants of fiber-reinforced composite rectangular laminates using three measured strains of the plates subjected to uniaxial load testing. In the proposed method, the measured normal strains in 0°, and 45°, and 90° directions, respectively, of the plate made of one composite material subjected to uniaxial tensile testing are used to identify four elastic constants of the constituent composite material via a two-level optimization approach. The objective function used for constructing the two-level optimization problem consists of the sum of the differences between the experimental and theoretical predictions of the three strain components and a strain restraining function, which is used to help even up the effects of the measured strains on the identified elastic constants. The accuracy of the proposed method has been verified via an experimental approach.
