Abstract

Abstract: In order to study the influence of different assembly process on bending performance of carbon fiber reinforced resin plastics (CFRP), experimental studies were carried out on the DNS100 electronic universal testing machine. By comparing the ultimate load, assembly stiffness and failure time, the influence of assembly process such as pitch of holes, gap size and shimming material on the bending performance of composite assemblies is analyzed. The results show that, within a certain range, increasing pitch of holes can effectively improve the stiffness of the assembly. The effect of assembly gap on the bending performance is closely related to the thickness of the assembly. In some cases the liquid shim is better than the glass fiber.

Key words: CFRP, gap, shimming material, bending performance
