Modeling the effect of automated fiber placement induced gaps based on serial layer scanned point clouds
COMPOSITE STRUCTURES(2023)
摘要
The gap is one of the most common defects during the AFP process, which has a nonnegligible impact on the mechanical properties of laminates. This paper proposes a novel three-dimension reconstructive gap model based on the in-process serial layer scanned point clouds, which can characterizes the gap features inside the laminate and pre-determine the mechanical performance before the subsequent procedures. The measured point cloud will be transformed into eligible and processible formats and then be used to generate a finite element grid using the element-based material property assignment method. The local material properties and fiber orientation are defined by previously assigned classes and grid geometries respectively. The effect of gap size on the in-plane tensile strength and damage evolution of laminates is investigated and both the experimental and simulation results find that the ultimate strength and stiffness show a significant decrease with the increase of gap size.
