Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of nondestructive testing, and in particular to a composite material layered comparison test block and a preparation method and a testing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Composite materials are widely used in the aerospace field due to their advantages such as good designability, heat resistance, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance. In order to meet assembly requirements, composite materials need to be drilled and then connected to two structural parts by riveting, etc. However, due to the presence of axial force in the drilling process and the shear stress on the hole structure during the equipment connection process, it is easy to produce delamination at the hole wall. The existence of delamination will cause stress concentration at the connection of composite structural parts, thereby reducing the strength of the structural connection and posing the risk of structural failure.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to conduct quantitative detection of composite material delamination. At present, the detection of composite material delamination usually adopts the ultrasonic method, which detects the delamination defects inside the composite material by receiving the defect echo of ultrasonic wave at the interface between the composite material and the air in the delamination or by comparing and analyzing the abnormal loss of the bottom wave of the received ultrasound at the delamination defect.

[0004] Composite material delamination defect comparison test blocks are a prerequisite for detecting the delamination of composite material structural parts. By comparing the test blocks, the test personnel can calibrate the equipment detection accuracy and determine the equipment detection parameters, thereby realizing the precise quantitative detection of structural parts delamination. At present, the existing methods for making composite material hole edge delamination comparison test blocks mainly include: (1) a method of artificially pre-embedding and then processing concentric through holes, specifically: embedding one or more circular artificial prefabricated defects in the pre-embedded test block, and then processing concentric through holes for the artificial prefabricated defects; (2) a method of processing hole edge step holes, specifically: first processing a through hole, and drilling step holes of the required delamination size at three different depths of the upper, middle and lower parts of the through hole; (3) a method of laser processing of the hole side wall, specifically: first cutting the hole structure, and then using a laser method to process the delamination inside the composite material through the hole side wall direction. Although the above methods can prepare composite material delamination defect comparison test blocks, there is a limitation that a single hole has only one delamination defect size. If the accuracy of the detection equipment needs to be graded and calibrated, multiple hole edge delamination comparison test blocks need to be made. For example, CN110196287A discloses a test block for analyzing the delamination defects of the hole edge of a composite workpiece. The simulated delamination of the test block is achieved by concentrically drilling holes in the circular film pre-embedded defects added during the composite molding stage. The delamination size of the single hole simulation is relatively simple. Another example is CN103529121A discloses a delamination defect simulation method for composite laminate machine-made hole edge pulse reflection method. This method starts from the upper surface of the composite material and concentrically digs grooves toward the lower surface, representing annular delamination. The delamination size of the single hole simulation is also relatively simple.

[0005] Therefore, providing a comparison test block that can simulate single-hole multi-size delamination defects is of great significance to improving the convenience of composite material delamination defect detection. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a composite material stratification comparison test block and a preparation method and a detection method thereof. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method provided by the present invention can prepare a composite material stratification comparison test block with a single hole and containing stratification defects of various standard sizes at the edge of the hole by eccentrically drilling a composite material sample with a built-in circular embedded defect and processing the embedded defect size mark, thereby meeting the requirements of different stratification detection accuracy calibration. The composite material stratification comparison test block detection method can realize fast, convenient and accurate calibration of ultrasonic detection equipment.

[0007] In order to achieve the purpose of the invention, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a composite material layered comparison test block, the preparation method comprising the following steps:

[0009] (1) laying a circular embedded defect between set layers of a composite material prepreg, and then sequentially performing curing molding and demolding to obtain a first sample;

[0010] (2) using a nondestructive testing method to determine the center position of the circular pre-embedded defect in the first sample obtained in step (1); then eccentrically drilling the circular pre-embedded defect to obtain a second sample;

[0011] (3) Using a nondestructive testing method to test the second sample obtained in step (2), and processing a pre-embedded defect size mark on the second sample according to the test data to obtain a composite material stratification comparison test block.

[0012] In the present invention, the first sample is a sample with a built-in circular pre-embedded defect. The present invention can manufacture multi-sized delamination defects around the hole structure by performing hole processing on the circular pre-embedded defect of the first sample at a position deviating from the center of the circular pre-embedded defect, i.e., eccentric drilling. Then, by processing the embedded defect size marks of various sizes, the preparation of composite material delamination comparison test blocks containing various standard sizes is finally realized. Compared with the existing comparison test blocks with simulated delamination and concentric hole structure, the single existing test block can only meet the calibration of one delamination size accuracy. If there are different detection accuracy requirements, different hole structure comparison test blocks need to be made and used. The present invention can meet the calibration requirements of different delamination detection accuracy only through one hole edge eccentric delamination, which significantly improves the convenience of detection.

[0022] In the present invention, a characteristic line segment and the length of the characteristic line segment represent a delamination defect of a standard size. The present invention can further adjust the variation range of the standard size as required by controlling the circular through hole and the circular embedded defect.

[0023] Preferably, when the circular through hole and the circular pre-embedded defect satisfy R1>R2, and the contour circle of the circular through hole is located inside the contour circle of the circular pre-embedded defect, the length variation interval of the characteristic line segment is [L min1 , L max1];

[0029] Preferably, the nondestructive testing method in step (2) and step (3) includes digital ray testing or ultrasonic testing, preferably digital ray testing.

[0030] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a composite material stratified comparison test block, wherein the composite material stratified comparison test block is obtained by the preparation method of the composite material stratified comparison test block according to the first aspect of the present invention.

[0031] The composite material stratification comparison test block provided by the present invention has a plurality of standard-sized hole edge stratification defects on the basis of a single hole, and can realize multi-level calibration of the accuracy of ultrasonic detection equipment by a single hole.

[0032] In a third aspect, the present invention provides a method for detecting a composite material stratification comparison test block, the detection method comprising using the composite material stratification comparison test block described in the second aspect of the present invention to perform precision calibration and correction on an ultrasonic detection device.
