三维编织C/SiC复合材料螺纹管连接强度及损伤机理

Connection strength and damage mechanism of three-dimensional braided C/SiC composite threaded pipe

  • 摘要: 三维编织C/SiC复合材料(Three-dimensional Braided C/SiC Composites,3D C/SiC)螺纹管作为一种高性能连接构件,广泛应用于航空航天等领域,研究其连接强度和损伤机理对于确保结构的可靠服役至关重要。本文通过螺纹管连接强度试验与基于微-细-宏观结构的多尺度仿真分析,对3D C/SiC螺纹管的力学响应及损伤机理进行了系统性研究。基于SEM和Micro-CT获得的材料内部的纤维直径、界面厚度、细观单胞尺寸等参数,建立了3D C/SiC复合材料螺纹管连接强度的多尺度仿真模型。试验与仿真结果表明,3D C/SiC螺纹管的载荷-位移曲线呈现线性,其平均刚度、平均最大载荷分别为14.11×106 N/mm、35.94 kN,破坏位移略大于螺牙高度(3.175 mm),约为3.31 mm。由于各螺牙承载不均匀,导致螺纹管破坏呈现出螺牙逐个破坏的失效模式,进一步使得载荷-位移曲线上表现出双峰值的特征。破坏主要发生在螺牙根部,表现为拉剪破坏,其中纤维束整体发生断裂,并且伴有部分纤维拔出现象,而基体由于其脆性特征呈现出粉碎性破坏。本研究通过对3D C/SiC复合材料螺纹管连接的破坏机理和力学响应机制的详细分析,为螺纹管的优化设计提供了重要的理论依据和工程应用价值。

     

    Abstract: Aerospace and other industries with tough operating demands extensively utilize three-dimensional braided C/SiC composite threaded pipes as high-performance connection components. Evaluating their connection strength and damage processes is critical for assuring structural dependability and service life. This work extensively explored the mechanical response and damage processes of these composite threaded pipes through connection strength testing and multi-scale simulation analysis. A multiscale FE model for the connection strength of 3D C/SiC composite threaded tubes was developed based on yarn diameters, interfacial thicknesses, and mesoscopic unit cell dimensions obtained from SEM and Micro-CT. The experimental and computational data both show that the load-displacement response starts out linearly rising, with a stiffness of 14.11×10^6 N/mm on average and a maximum load of 35.94 kN. Notably, the damage displacement is significantly more than the screw thread height, roughly 3.31 mm. Due to the uneven load distribution among the threads, the threaded tube exhibits a sequential thread failure mode during loading, which further results in a distinct double-peak feature in the load-displacement curve. Primary damage occurs at the thread roots, where tensile-shear failure appears by the collective fracture of fiber bundles accompanied by partial fiber pull-out, while the matrix experiences brittle crushing. These findings give essential theoretical insights and technical assistance for the optimum design of threaded pipes.
