Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite material damage monitoring technology, and specifically to a method for monitoring damage in silicon carbide matrix composite materials based on resistance changes. Background Technology
[0002] Two-dimensional carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix composites (2D-C / SiCs) have attracted much attention due to their low density and excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, showing broad application prospects in hot-end components of aero-engines. When subjected to external forces, 2D-C / SiC composites exhibit energy dissipation mechanisms such as matrix cracking, fiber pull-out, interfacial debonding, and slippage, resulting in pseudo-plastic fracture characteristics. This effectively improves the damage tolerance of the composite material and prevents catastrophic failure. In practical engineering applications, to ensure the service safety and reliability of materials, it is essential to monitor and assess the damage state of the materials in real time, thereby effectively predicting the remaining service life of component materials and preventing catastrophic failures.
[0003] Currently used damage monitoring methods include traditional non-destructive testing technologies such as ultrasonic C-scanning, X-ray, and thermal imaging. These methods typically require the structural components to be taken out of service for a considerable period of time for inspection and evaluation. Some of these technologies are more suitable for detecting larger interlayer defects, but are not sensitive enough to small defects perpendicular to the material surface caused by conditions such as tensile creep. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a damage monitoring method for silicon carbide matrix composites based on resistance change. The present invention couples the probability model of fiber failure in the composite material with the resistance model to obtain a composite material damage monitoring model. Based on the composite material damage monitoring model, the damage state of the composite material is monitored and evaluated in real time, which ensures the service safety and reliability of the composite material, effectively predicts the remaining service life of the composite material, and prevents the occurrence of catastrophic failures.

When damage occurs in the composite material, the electrical resistance at the damaged site changes, such as... Figure 1 As shown, with the introduction of a matrix crack Δ, the carbon fiber and the matrix slide relative to each other at the crack. The matrix crack leads to stress concentration, and the carbon fiber will preferentially fracture in the slip zone of the matrix crack.

CMCs are highly sensitive to changes in electrical resistance (ER) when the matrix cracks. ER indirectly measures the cracking and crack propagation in the matrix. Damage accumulation is monitored using ER technology under high-temperature tensile conditions. This model can accurately detect minute cracks and damage in materials without damaging the material structure, providing real-time data to help in the timely detection and assessment of damage.

[0084] (3) The present invention constructs a composite material damage monitoring model, which provides a powerful tool for studying the damage mechanism of complex braided C / SiC composite materials and predicting damage using resistance technology;
[0085] (4) This invention uses the relative change rate of resistance to predict the strain of composite materials, and maintains good accuracy in variable service environments as the failure probability of composite materials increases.
[0086] The predicted strain of the composite material damage monitoring model gradually exceeds the actual strain experienced by the composite material, ensuring that the predicted strain before the composite material fails is greater than the actual strain. This enhances the warning effect and safety of the composite material damage model in engineering applications. Attached Figure Description

[0176] Example 1
[0177] (1) Select a 2D single-layer plain weave carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix composite material of 130mm×10mm×0.5mm and first conduct a cyclic loading and unloading test on it. The loading and unloading are carried out at a speed of 0.05mm / min to simulate the actual service environment of the composite material.
[0178] (2) The resistance of the composite material was measured using the four-probe method. The two outer probes measured the current and the two inner probes measured the voltage. The outer probes were 90 mm apart and the inner probes were 80 mm apart. Acoustic emission was also installed outside the resistance probes as an auxiliary monitoring method. The experiment monitored the sample throughout the entire cycle and plotted the relative change rate of resistance and strain at the same time as the experimental results.
[0179] (3) Input the strain corresponding to the resistance at the same time into the composite material damage monitoring model to obtain the prediction result.
[0180] As shown in Figures 4(a) and 4(b), the experimental results and model results fit well in the early stages of loading. Deviations begin to appear around 70% of the maximum strain, but the overall trend remains consistent. Furthermore, under the same resistance change, the model-predicted strain is greater than the actual strain. Combined with the acoustic emission results, it can be concluded that the "pseudo-failure" caused by defects in the preparation of the single-layer material during the 70% to 90% maximum strain stage is an influence of the preparation process and is a phenomenon difficult to control artificially. This is somewhat improved in multilayer materials.
[0181] Example 2
[0182] (1) The test specimen was still selected as a 2D single-layer plain weave carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix composite material of 130mm×10mm×0.5mm. Uniaxial tensile test was performed on it. The loading rate was ten times that of cyclic loading and unloading, 0.5mm / min.
[0183] (2) The resistance of the composite material was measured using a four-probe method. The two outer probes measured the current, and the two inner probes measured the voltage. The outer probes were 90 mm apart, and the inner probes were 80 mm apart. The entire process of the sample was monitored, and the relative change rate of resistance and strain at the same time were plotted as curves as experimental results.
[0184] (3) Input the relative rate of change of resistance and strain at the same time into the composite material damage monitoring model to obtain the prediction results;
[0185] As shown in Figure 5, the model prediction results are still good. The time taken for the specimen to fail under uniaxial tension with a higher rate is short. The effective data collected during the experiment are evenly distributed on both sides of the model fitting curve. The maximum absolute error of the fitting does not exceed 1%. From the perspective of engineering strain prediction, in the strain range near the sample failure, the strain predicted by the model is greater than the actual strain. The maximum absolute error of the prediction throughout the process does not exceed 0.2%, and the maximum error is within the strain range of the specimen's safe service life. Therefore, the prediction effect of this model has practical application potential.
[0186] Example 3
[0187] (1) Test samples of the same specifications under low loading rate uniaxial tensile test, with a loading rate of 0.05 mm / min. Measure their resistance using the four-probe method.
[0188] (2) The difference between Example 1 and Example 2 is that this example only records the initial resistance value from the beginning, and selects a certain moment to start the multimeter to start measuring the resistance until the sample completely fails. In order to simulate the situation in actual application where the damage of the object is monitored from a certain moment, rather than continuously monitored from the moment the sample is used, it is suitable for situations where the degree of damage to the object needs to be evaluated from a certain moment, such as when the service life of the sample is too long and real-time monitoring is required to ensure safety.
[0189] Assuming the resistance at the start of recording satisfies the model, the relative rates of change of all resistances during the recording period can be calculated, as shown in the following figures. Figure 6 As shown, the actual strain of the specimen and the predicted strain obtained by the model are compared. Overall, the model prediction effect is better. Even under high strain near failure, the strain predicted by the model is greater than the actual strain. Under this low loading rate, the data acquisition is more accurate, and the maximum absolute error does not even exceed 0.1%, which has practical significance for predicting damage in engineering.
