ABSTRACT
Interface delamination is a major failure mode induced by in-plane shear stress frequently encountered in carbon fiber-reinforce polymer (CFRP) composite laminates structures. This failure process under monotonic loading has been successfully described using cohesive zone model (CZM). Many previous CZM approaches for cyclic case were considering damage parameters based on a crack growth relation which has some disadvantages for predicting a non-linear crack growth. In addition, the previous CZM approach lacks ground in understanding the physics underlying the delamination process and effect of stress ratio. The objective of the study is to extend the existing CZM to account for the delamination damage evolution of CFRP composite laminates under cyclic shear-induced loading conditions named as cyclic cohesive zone model (CCZM). In this respect, the fatigue damage response and the residual interfacial properties associated with the development of the CCZM are established under cyclic shear-induced loading condition. A series of Mode-II-type tests were performed on pre-fatigued end-notched flexural (ENF) beams of CFRP composite laminates, [0]8 for different applied load ratio conditions (R = 0.1, 0.15 and 0.25) to induce only interlaminar damage at the pre-existing delamination interface crack front. Subsequent quasi-static test to catastrophic failure establishes the characteristic residual strength responses of the damaged specimen. A hybrid experimental-computational approach was introduced to obtain the residual interlaminar properties for all the loading cases. A normalized gradual degradation rule was used to present the degradation for interlaminar shear strength ( ), penalty stiffness ( ) and the critical Mode-II energy release rate ( ) which cover the wide range of interlaminar failure mode from wear out to sudden death. This interlaminar properties degradation model can describe the characteristic evolution of the interlaminar damage response and the degradation of CCZM properties under cyclic shear-induced loading case. The interlaminar properties degradation model together with the CCZM model is coded by using user-define material model (UMAT) subroutine to implement in ABAQUS finite element analysis (FEA) software. This model had been used to simulate under 3-point bending cases and compared with the experiment results. Result had shown that the comparison between the FE simulation and the experiment fatigue load-life cycles for CFRP composite laminate interfaces are close with the difference of less than 1% and shows a very successful verification of the modified CCZM model to simulate the interlaminar damage evolution and failure response. Besides that, an independent validation had been run to validate the performance of interlaminar properties which were obtained in the study. A load-deflection response under 3-point bending case was simulated based on [0]16 ENF specimen under identical load cycle parameters and compared with the measured experiment results. Result shows that the peak load differences between the experiment and simulation is less than 6%. From the study, the capability of CCZM model for cyclic case has been demonstrated by linking interlaminar properties degradation with damage mechanics approach. This will help in understanding the physics underlying the delamination process and effect of stress ratio.

ABSTRAK
Pelekangan antara lamina adalah mod kegagalan utama yang disebabkan oleh tegasan ricih sesatah yang seringkali dialami oleh struktur lapisan komposit polimer bertetulang-gentian karbon (CFRP). Proses kegagalan ini di bawah beban ekanada telah berjaya dihuraikan menggunakan model zon jelekat (CZM). Banyak pendekatan CZM terdahulu untuk kes berkitar telah mengambilkira parameter kerosakan berdasarkan hubungan pertumbuhan retakan yang mana mempunyai beberapa kelemahan dalam meramal pertumbuhan retak bukan lelurus. Selain dari itu, pendekatan CZM sebelum ini kurang mempunyai asas pemahaman fizik berdasarkan proses pelekangan dan kesan nisbah tegasan. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk memperluaskan CZM sediaada bagi mengira evolusi kerosakan pelekangan pada lapisan komposit CFRP yang disebabkan oleh keadaan beban kitaran ricih-teraruh yang dinamakan model zon jelekat berkitar (CCZM). Dalam hal ini, tindak balas kerosakan lesu dan sifat-sifat sisa antara lamina yang dikaitkan dengan pembangunan CCZM dihasilkan berdasarkan keadaan beban kitaran ricih-teraruh. Siri ujian jenis Mode-II dijalankan pada rasuk lenturan takuk-hujung (ENF) daripada lapisan komposit CFRP, [0]8 yang dipra-lesu pada keadaan nisbah beban berbeza (R = 0.1, 0.15 and 0.25) untuk mengaruh kerosakan antara lamina pada hadapan retakan antara lamina yang sediaada. Seterusnya ujian kuasi-statik sehingga kegagalan bencana menetapkan ciri-ciri tindak balas sifat-sifat sisa kekuatan spesimen yang rosak. Kaedah hibrid pengkomputeran-eksperimen diperkenalkan bagi mendapatkan sifat-sifat sisa antaramuka pada kesemua kes pembebanan. Aturan penurunan beransur ternormal telah digunakan untuk mewakili kemerosotan kekuatan ricih antara lamina ( ), kekukuhan denda ( ) dan Mod-II kritikal kadar pelepasan tenaga ( ) yang merangkumi pelbagai mod kegagalan antara lamina dari haus sehingga kegagalan mengejut. Model sifat penurunan antara lamina ini akan menghuraikan evolusi ciri tindak balas kerosakan antara lamina dan kemerosotan sifat-sifat CCZM di bawah kes beban kitaran ricih-teraruh. Model sifat penurunan antara lamina bersama-sama dengan model CCZM dikodkan dengan menggunakan model bahan takrif-pengguna (UMAT) subrutin untuk dilaksanakan dalam perisian analisis unsur terhingga (FEA) ABAQUS. Model ini telah digunakan untuk mensimulasi kes lenturan 3-titik dan dibandingkan dengan keputusan eksperimen. Keputusan telah menunjukkan bahawa perbandingan antara simulasi FE dan eksperimen kitaran hayat-beban kelesuan untuk lapisan komposit CFRP dengan perbezaan kurang dari 1%. Ini menunjukkan pengesahan yang sangat berjaya terhadap model CCZM yang diubah suai untuk mensimulasikan evolusi kerosakan antara lamina dan tindak balas kegagalan. Selain itu, pengesahan bebas dijalankan untuk mengesahkan prestasi sifat antara lamina yang telah diperolehi dalam kajian ini. Tindak balas beban-permesongan di bawah kes lenturan 3-titik telah disimulasi berdasarkan spesimen ENF [0]16 di bawah parameter kitaran beban yang sama dan dibandingkan dengan data eksperimen yang diukur. Keputusan menunjukkan, perbezaan beban puncak di antara eksperimen dan simulasi adalah kurang daripada 6%. Dari kajian ini, keupayaan model CCZM untuk kes kitaran telah dibuktikan dengan menghubungkan sifat penurunan antara lamina dengan pendekatan mekanik kerosakan. Ini akan membantu memahami dasar fizik proses pelekangan dan kesan nisbah tegasan.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) matrix composites consist of thermoset or
thermoplastic resin matrix reinforced by much stronger and stiffer fibers such as
carbon, glass and ultra-high-molecular-weight (UHMW) polyethylene fibers. Carbon
fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are typically hired in advanced
applications which includes the aerospace, automotive, marine, sport and construction
applications. Modern aircraft design like the Boeing 787 were among the aircraft
representing the maximum use of this material in the primary structures such as wing
skins and fuselage which are made of CFRP composite. The increment usage of CFRP
composites is derived from their advantages such as high strength, light weight,
corrosion resistance, chemical resistivity, electrical conductivity and many more. In
this case, it is very necessary to predict the failure response of CFRP composite during
the design and analysis processes of the structures. There are two approaches to predict
the failure response which are by using the experimental and numerical approaches.
Most of the experimental procedure is very costly and time consuming, especially
when dealing with complex loading. For the industry applications, CFRP structural
components are usually subjected to complex fatigue loading histories [1] specified by
various amplitude, stress ratio, frequency and waveform of the stress cycles during
service. However, deficiencies in current lifetime prediction methodologies for these
materials often require large factors of safety that need to be adopted to ensure safety
of the materials in the application. Therefore, composite structures are usually
overdesigned and require an extensive prototype testing that need to be used for a

proper lifetime prediction. By using the finite element (FE) tools, the lifetime
prediction of CFRP material could be done to improve the design by using less number
of expensive physical tests.
Figure 1.1: Typical use of composite in aircraft Boeing 787 [2].
The knowledge of Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is used to evaluate the
material's resistance under different loading conditions in simulated service
environment. It is well known from the aerospace industry that composite structures
are sized based on the building block approach [3]. This methodology is described in
Figure 1.2, with the pyramid concept. The main idea is to build the knowledge on the
material and structural behavior step by step, starting from the fundamental stage at
the coupon level up to the full-scale structures. It has been observed over the years that
simulation, and especially models based on the finite element method, are more and
more used in the different stages of the pyramid, trying to become a companion of the
physical tests. It is indeed evident that tests can be expensive when repeated several
times for different material configurations (e.g. different stacking sequences) or when
changes in the components geometry or loading conditions. Therefore, by using virtual
testing can help reduce the product development costs and time. To fulfil this
requirement, finite element analyses must be predictive. If this condition is satisfied,
simulation can then replace some physical tests.

Figure 1.2: The building block approach applied to aerospace composite
structures.
Currently, the CFRP composite simulation under monotonic and quasi-static
loading has been well established in the literature. However, under cyclic or fatigue
failure is still considered as an open topic for further investigation. There is different
mode of failure that can be occur during the operational time such matrix yielding,
matrix cracking, fiber/matrix interface debonding, fiber pull-out, fiber fracture and
interface delamination. Interface delamination is one of the most critical issues face by
the CFRP composite laminates under fatigue loading since most of the structures have
a relatively weak ply-to-ply interface strength. Therefore, this thesis had described a
damage mechanics concept for predicting the fracture of CFRP composite laminates
under cyclic shear-induced loading conditions. Delamination under cyclic shear-
induced loading condition had been considered in this research due to the fact that
many composite structures are far more sensitive of being loaded in shear rather than
in tension [4-8]. Besides, Mode-II delamination in composite laminates is a major
matrix-controlled failure mode induced by out-of-plane flexural loading. The
methodology which had been described in this thesis will be a useful guidance to
predict a larger scale of specimen or structure using finite element software which had
been integrated with proper user-written subroutine.

1.2 Background and Rationale
CFRP matrix composites belong to a new advanced material developed that are
strong, lightweight, low densities, and not easily corroded. In the transportation
industry, by reducing the vehicle weight will help to reduce the fuel consumption and
has become one of a main goal in this sector since the fuel price in this world are being
increased rapidly. This can be achieved by substitution of metal-based alloys,
commonly used in aerospace and automotive structures with lighter weight material
such as CFRP. The rapid increment in CFRP usage from 20% in 1990 (A320) to over
60% in 2010 (A380) for aircraft structures and high lift components is demonstrated
[3]. In military vehicles, composite structures have an advantage in stealth application
since this material are transparent to radar. Beside transportation industry, this CFRP
composite laminates have helped to develop construction sector for bridges and precast
concrete. In addition, CFRP composites offer flexibility in design through sequencing
of pre-impregnated laminates for tailored strength and stiffness properties in particular
loading direction. The relative low consolidation or curing temperature further lowers
the manufacturing cost of the part. The challenge is to consider the design tradeoffs in
choosing the lightest material that still meets the strength requirements of the part
while maintaining the cost effectiveness. The reduced through-life support cost of the
composite structures must also be considered. This is what the industry need which is
to evaluate the resistance of the material under various loading conditions such as
quasi-static, fatigue and impact loading with evolution of mechanical damage under
simulated service environment. This calls for evaluation of the material's resistance to
quasi-static, impact and fatigue loading along with mechanical damage evolution in
simulated service environment. Simple mechanical tests of the composite laminates
coupons, under various loading conditions such as compression, tension, shear and
flexural loading are beneficial to measure intrinsic properties of the composites [9-11].
Failure process is a very complex phenomenon for CFRP composite laminates.
Different mode of failure, such as matrix yielding, matrix cracking, fiber/matrix
interface debonding, fiber pull-out, fiber fracture and interface delamination could
happen during the operational time. Interface delamination is one of the most critical
issues face by the CFRP composite laminates due to the fact that most of composite
