Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the structural effects of different delamination types on buckling behavior of the E-glass/epoxy with [0]8, [90]8, [±45]4 orientation angles and aramid/epoxy with [±45]4 orientation angle of the composite plates. The buckling behaviors of the layered composites with three different artificial delamination geometries namely, RECDel (rectangular delamination), SQRDel (square delamination), and CIRDel (circle delamination) as well as with different delamination locations (at depth ratios of t/h = 0.25 and t/h = 0.5) were investigated under compression load experimentally. The boundary conditions were clamped for loaded ends while they were freed for the other edges. The dimensions of rectangular composite plates were selected as 150 mm (L) × 25 mm (b) × 2.32 mm (h). Five specimens for each parameter of delaminated composite plates were tested to get the average buckling load. The test results showed that load values of the aramid/epoxy load values were higher than load values of the glass/epoxy load values regardless of the similarity of the buckling loads for t/h = 0.25 and t/h = 0.5 depth ratios. Furthermore, it is possible to conclude that the performance of both the glass/epoxy and the aramid/epoxy buckling are strongly influenced by the layered orientation configurations.
