Abstract

The object of the study is the construction of the reliability assessing algorithm for the orthotropic composite plate, taking into account the stochasticity of its structure under the conditions of plane deformation. The plate consists of a matrix and reinforcement elements. The main orthotropic directions of the material coincide with the directions of the loading. The conducted studies are based on the failure criteria expressed through the components of macro stresses. The hypothesis of the weakest link is used, which for the case of the statistical theory of strength sounds like this: the ultimate (failure) loading for an orthotropic composite plate is equal to the ultimate loading for its weakest element. Defects-cracks are characterized by independent random variables – the half-length and the orientation angle between the defect line and the axis of orthotropy with a higher modulus of elasticity. The proposed model of orthotropic composite material corresponds to known experimental studies epoxy phenolic fiberglass on the cord glass fiber. The distribution probabilities density of defect orientation takes into account their predominant orientation in the direction of reinforcement. On the basis of the obtained composite failure loading integral probability distribution function, the construction and study of the dependence of the plate failure probability diagrams for different number of cracks, structural inhomogeneity and type of applied loading was carried out.

Complex application of the composite materials fracture mechanics deterministic solution and the methods of probability theory and mathematical statistics allows for a more adequate assessment of the composite materials reliability, taking into account the stochasticity of their structure.

The main content of this work is the construction and analysis of dependence of stochastically defective reinforced composite materials failure probability diagrams.

The obtained results make it possible to evaluate the reliability of orthotropic stochastically defective materials under conditions of plane deformation.

The algorithm of a compatible combination of defectiveness and randomness of the orthotropic composite material structure makes it possible to qualitatively investigate its failure under various types of applied loading.
