Dynamic Mechanical Behavior and Failure Mechanism of Polymer Composites Embedded with Tetraneedle-Shaped ZnO Whiskers

【摘要】 Quasi-static and dynamic mechanical properties of glass-fiber reinforced polymer composites embedded with and without tetraneedle-shaped ZnO whiskers(T-ZnOw) in two loading directions are investigated by a split Hopkinson pressure bar.The stress-strain curves,ultimate strength,failure strain and elastic modulus are obtained and the failure mechanism of the composites is investigated by a high-speed camera and a scanning electron microscope.Strain rate effects on the mechanical behavior are discussed and the corresponding models are derived by fitting the experimental data.The experimental results show that the composites with T-ZnOw under dynamic loading have multiple failure modes and better mechanical properties.Finally,the strengthening and toughening mechanisms of T-ZnOw are analyzed.It is shown that T-ZnOw can improve mechanical properties of the composites,and can make the composites have some new features.The present results provide a reliable basis for advanced composite design and manufacture,and have broad applications in the field of aerospace.更多还原
