    ITH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMPOSITE ‘SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Experimental Study on Fatigue Behavior of Composite Rectangular Plates with Circular Internal Delamination KATARZYNA SKLADANOWSKA', ALEKSANDER MUC', PAWEL ROMANOWICZ" Institute of Machine Design, Cracow University of Technology, Krakow, POLAND e-mail: kskladanowska@pk.edu.pl, olekmuc@mech.pk.edu.pl, promek@mech.pk.edu.p! Abstract In this study, fatigue behaviors of rectangular plates having circular internal delamination have been investigated. The experimental studies have been associated with the structural health monitoring (SHM) system and the passive thermography. Based on experimental results, a finite clement model has been proposed to evaluate the number of cycles corresponding to final fatigue failure. Key words fatigue failure, delamination, SHM, passive thermography L. Introduction Interlaminar delamination is one of the most commonly seen failure phenomena in composite laminates, and such failure may significantly reduce the residual strength and the critical load-carrying capacity of laminated structures. Specifically, the existence of the delamination may cause growth of the delamination under in-plane loads, which could lead to ultimate failure of the composite laminates. In tension load cases the delamination will not grow and will result in a small stiffness degradation to the structure, In compression, delaminations can allow a sublaminate to buckle which further drives to the delamination growth, This mechanism of failure, if not accounted for properly, can lead to uncontrolled delamination growth and premature failure of the structure, Therefore, predicting the delamination growth can be critical to determining the structural integrity. Several studies have investigated the growth of flat plates and in shells with axisymmetric delaminations [1-3] ‘There are mainly two approaches available for studying interlaminar delamination growth of composite laminates. The first approach is related to damage mechanics, in which the interface enclosing the delamination is modeled with a damageable material and delamination occurs when a damage variable reaches its maximum value [4,5]. ‘The second approach, perhaps the most important and popular approach, is based on the methodology of fracture mechanics [6-8]. In assessing a possible delamination growth with the second approach, it is generally accepted that one ‘may analytically or numerically determine the total strain energy release rate or the stress along the delamination front, and compare these results with some critical values used as criteria, Experimental Study on Fatigue Behavior of Composite Rectangular Plates with Circular Internal Delamination: Skladanowska K. et al. n I the present work, static and dynamic compression tests were conducted on a unidirectional glass fiber reinforced polymer matrix and on a woven roving glass polymer matrix composites, at different load rate, The deformation behavior of structures and failure modes were discussed. For the purposes of this work, a special attention was focused to account for the effect of R. (a, Sass) ratio. Two special cases are discussed in details, i. - Tension-compresion cases (R<0) ~ Tension-tension cases (0
