The invention discloses a device and a method for preparing a
fiber in-plane buckling in-situ strength
test sample and belongs to the field of preparation of composite materials. The device mainly comprises flexible
silica gel plates, mobile clamps, set screws and clamp
motion control mechanisms. During working, a unidirectional prepreg is laid between the upper flexible
silica gel plate and the lower flexible
silica gel plate in the guide rail direction, and the two silica gel plates are arranged between the left mobile clamp and the right mobile clamp; the set screws are tightened, so that the mobile clamps, the silica gel plates and the prepreg tows are tightly contacted nearby the clamping screws; the screw-out amount of adjusting screws is changed, the mobile clamps drive the silica gel plates to generate expected elastic tensile deformation, the adjusting screws are screwed out, the flexible silica gel plates are retracted, the prepreg tows generate
axial compression deformation, and accordingly, in-plane buckling is produced. According to the device and the method, the preparation of the
fiber in-plane buckling in-situ strength
test sample with controllable deformation can be realized, and the defect that the
fiber buckling
test sample is difficult to acquire under non-geodesic laying according to the existing test standard is overcome.
