Three-point bending behavior of angle-ply GFRP laminates under static and LCF loading: Experimental and statistical analysis Md. Touhid Alam Ansari, Kalyan Kumar Singh, Anand Gaurav Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, 2025 Deeper understanding of damage propagation in continuous fiber reinforced polymer composites is required to design safer composites. The process of sample preparation imparts sufficient damage to the free edges and can be easily considered as precursor to failure. This study examines the low-cycle fatigue (LCF) behavior and damage progression in woven angle-ply laminates under static and fatigue loading. Laminates with ply orientations of (0°/90°), ±15°, ±30°, and ±45° were tested with a load-controlled fatigue at 0.1 Hz and a stress ratio (R) of 0.1. Internal and free-edge damage were monitored using Transmitted Light Photography (TLP) and optical recording. Weibull statistics is used to generate S-N curve for reliability levels of 0.95, 0.99, 0.999, and 0.9999 and to find mean-time-to-failure (MTTF), standard deviations, and coefficient of variance (CV) in the fatigue life. TLP images showed delamination promoted by free-edge damage, while compressive face damage was caused by the loading cylinder. On-axis laminates developed fewer cracks, failing with a single through-thickness crack, while off-axis laminates exhibited multiple cracks that coalesced without a single fracture. Fiber orientation significantly influenced internal debonding, and damage from sample preparation could not be fully eliminated.
Influence of fabric areal density in woven GFRP laminate on abrasive water jet drilling responses Raju Kumar Thakur, Kalyan Kumar Singh, Md. Touhid Alam Ansari Materials and Manufacturing Processes, 2023 The objective of this investigation is to find out the effect of the woven glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) laminates with different glass fiber densities, such as 610 GSM and 210 GSM, and manufactured by the hand layup technique, supported by compression molding on mechanical properties and abrasive water jet (AWJ) drilling responses. During the investigation, the woven GFRP with a fiber density of 610 GSM has been found to display greater flexural strength, interlaminar strength (ILSS), and tensile strength as compared to the woven GFRP with a fiber density of 210 GSM. The woven GFRP with a fiber density of 610 GSM has also displayed reduced drilling damage in the surface region and less delamination compared to the woven GFRP with a fiber density of 210 GSM. The results of both types of composites prove that the TR and JP considerably impact the delamination extent (DE) and surface roughness (SR). A decrease in the TR and an increase in the JP are primarily responsible for optimizing the desired machining performances. Finally, a FESEM analysis has been done to examine the machined surfaces’ morphology.
Observations of fatigue damage development in woven glass fiber-reinforced polymer composite using transmission light photography technique Md Touhid A Ansari, Kalyan K Singh, Mohammad S Azam Polymers and Polymer Composites, 2022 Fatigue behaviour is an important aspect for consideration while handling glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites. A combination of (0°/90°) and (±45°) plies are gaining practical interest in engineering applications due to their excellent mechanical properties. Properties of individual above-stated plies primarily influence the behaviour of laminates. Fatigue behaviour of on-axis (0°/90°) and off-axis (±45°) fiber orientated woven GFRP laminates was investigated. Tensile and tension-tension fatigue tests were performed on the prepared test coupons according to the ASTM standard. Fatigue test was conducted until failure at maximum applied stress of 90%, 70%, and 50% of the respective ultimate strength. Damage growth was monitored in the term of debond zones by employing the transmission light photography technique. Testing process was recorded by using a digital camera. The results were established in terms of the stress-strain curve, Wöhler curve, debond zones and dynamic stiffness. The fatigue strength of off-axis laminates was much lower than the on-axis laminates. Global damage has occurred in (0°/90°) laminates while (±45°) laminate witnessed localized damage. At higher stress levels, samples were failed at shorter lifespan with aggressive damage; however, on-axis specimens survived with longer fatigue life.
