研究了影响复合材料层合板强度尺寸效应的两个主要影响因素:统计尺寸效应和自由边效应。统计尺寸效应采用经典的Weibull最弱环理论描述。提出了"废宽度"的概念,将自由边效应和最终失效强度联系起来。综合这两种效应,得到了影响纤维增强复合材料(Fiber reinforced plastic,FRP)宽度尺寸效应的混合模型。引用D Kujawski的试验数据对混合模型进行了验证,结果表明:混合模型能够准确地预测不同宽度试件的最终失效强度。
The size effect on the strength of fiber reinforced plastic(FRP) composite is investigated. The two main factors, statistical size effect and free-edge effect, are responsible for the size effect in width. Statistical size effect originates from material inherent defects and it is described by the traditional Weibull weakest link theory. Free-edge effect comes into being because of stress singularity at edge and "waste width" is proposed to link the final failure strength with free-edge effect. Then a mixed model for the size effect in width is constructed by synthesizing the two effects. The experimental data from D Kujawski are employed to verify the proposed model and it is shown that the mixed model can predict the final failure strength of specimens with different widths.
