Abstract

Abstract—In the present paper the static and fatigue analysis of plates with holes is conducted. Structures are made of 2D woven roving composites. The parametrization of convex holes is proposed. Experimental results of specimens without holes and with different shapes of notches under static and fatigue tensile loads are presented. The fatigue behaviour of structures is analysed with the use of the low cycle fatigue method. The attention is focused on the nonlinear deformations of 2D woven roving structures leading to the scatter of results. The analysis is supplemented by the numerical finite element modeling. The agreement between experimental and finite element modeling is very good. Since we do not intend to repeat in the abstract the review of the existing literature I would like to emphasize only that the present work is a continuation and extension of the results discussed in the literature – see the next sections of the paper. The finite element modeling of plates with holes is presented in details by Muc [1], Muc, Ulatowska [2] and Muc, Romanowicz [3] including also the problems of the accuracy. The mesh correctness and accuracy is discussed in Ref [2] where the results are compared to the analytical results illustrated in the Soviet Union literature. The experimental results and the form of specimens are shown by Pandita et al. [4] and they are fundaments for our present experimental investigations. Two parametrical description of static and fatigue behaviour of plates with holes characterizes the goal and the novelty of the paper. The analysis demonstrates how those parameters affect on the variations of static and fatigue failure loads. In addition, it should be emphasized that the fuzzy approach is employed herein to reduce the number of experimental data and to avoid statistical analysis of experimental results – see e.g. Muc [5]. In the mesoscale modeling and using the fuzzy approach it is possible to achieve a very good description of static and fatigue behavior of plates with convex holes subjected to tension.
