摘要: 随着复合材料胶接技术在飞机主承力结构上的广泛应用,阶梯式胶接形式由于在实际工程过程中易于实现而成为复合材料结构修理和连接的主要形式。目前文献多集中于研究金属、复合材料以及两种材料混合的单搭接结构的疲劳性能,但对于具有高效载荷传递的阶梯式结构的疲劳耐久性研究较少,其疲劳失效机制尚需厘清。本文对多级阶梯复合材料胶接结构进行了拉伸疲劳试验研究,应力比为0.1。在疲劳试验过程中观测了宏观裂纹的起始与扩展。根据试验数据拟合的S-N曲线,发现疲劳寿命随应力水平的增加而线性降低。在发现目视可见裂纹后至完全断裂,复合材料胶接结构仍具有10%的剩余寿命,说明当出现目视可见裂纹时,应及时维修或更换部件。从试样受力及破坏形式可知,复合材料胶接结构的剪切破坏是引起疲劳损伤的主要原因。通过阶梯状断口形貌分析,发现了内聚破坏、粘附破坏、基体开裂和分层四种典型破坏形式。

Abstract: Composites have been widely used as the main load-bearing structures′ material in aircraft, and among various structures, stepped topology has been chosen to become the main form of fuselage repairing and connection due to the easy implementation. Although a quantity of literature has given the fatigue performance of single-lap of metal, composite and two hybrids, the fatigue durability of the special multi-lap for high-efficiency load-transferring structure is seldom studied. Besides, the fatigue failure mechanism is still not illustrated adequately. In this research, the experiments on composite stepped-lap adhesively bonded structure, which is made under the process of mold making, prepreg clipping and laying firstly, autoclave solidification secondly, step surface brushing adhesive thirdly and finallycutting into specimens, were conducted. The cyclic tensile load of stress ratio 0.1 was selected in the experiment, and the visible cracks and propagation of fatigue testing process were detected through the experiments. All the specimens have been completely fractured at the end of the experiment in order to obtain the total life span. According to the linear curve fitted by S-N discrete based on the testing data, the fatigue life decreases linearly as the stress level increases. After visible cracks being found, the composite bonded structure only has 10% residual cracks expansion life until being completely fractured, which implies that the component must be repaired or replaced once visible cracks appear. For the cracking mechanism, composites matrix shear-mode damage dominates the fatigue initiation damage, while cohesive failure, adhesive failure, matrix crack, and delamination composed the fracture modes after stepped-surface fracture appearing.
