Abstract

This work is to characterize the mechanical performances of the selected composites with four different overlap lengths of 0.25 in, 0.5 in, 0,75 in and 1.0 in. The composite materials in this study were one carbon composite (AS4C/UF3662) and one glass (E-glass/UF3662) composite. They both had the same resin of UF 3362, but with different fibers of carbon AS4C and E-glass. The mechanical loading in this study was limited to the quasi-static loading of 2 mm/min, which was equivalent to 5x10( -4 ) strain rate. Digital cameras were set up to record images during the mechanical testing. The full-field deformation data obtained from Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and the side view of the specimens were used to understand the different failure modes of the composites. The maximum load and the ultimate strength with consideration of the location of the failure for the different overlap lengths were compared and plotted together to understand the effect of the overlap lengths on the mechanical performance of the overlapped composites. 4 6
