ABSTRACT
Given the current lack of research data on the delamination behavior of spread-tow woven composites, this study aims to systematically characterize the mode-I interlaminar fracture behavior of plain weave spread-tow fabrics (STFs) composites. DCB tests were conducted to investigate the influence of different ply thicknesses, unit cell sizes, and interface angles on delamination behavior and fiber bridging. The experimental results revealed a stick–slip crack propagation behavior in mode-I delamination of studied material, and a detailed analysis was performed on the influence mechanism of unit cell size on this behavior. Fiber bridging was found to be the primary mechanism responsible for the increased interlaminar fracture toughness in the plain weave STFs composites. Fractography analysis indicated that regions rich in fibers and resin in thicker-ply laminates promote fiber bridging, while an interface angle inconsistent with the direction of crack propagation inhibits fiber bridging. The concept of average steady-state fracture toughness (average Gs) was introduced as a means to assess propagation fracture toughness and two methods were proposed to obtain bridging tractions for characterizing the fiber bridging phenomenon. The bridging tractions and average Gs were used as key parameters to establish a trilinear cohesive zone model (CZM) for simulating mode-I delamination. The numerical results aligned well with the experimental results, demonstrating the applicability of the parameter determination strategy based on the average Gs and bridging
