Abstract

Methods to get designed yarn damages in a braiding process and to measure them are shown in this paper. Furthermore the results of a research program exploring the in-plane and out-of-plane properties of braided composites with different levels of yarn damage are presented. The effects of designed yarn destructions are investigated on coupon level as well as on component level. It is shown that drive shafts with a damage tolerance of 95% after a 30 Joule impact can be manufactured due to filaments sticking out of the single preform layer. Beyond that it is demonstrated on coupon level by tensile tests that destroyed braiding yarns reduce the in-plane properties up to 11%. However the mechanical properties out-of-plane can be increased up to 7%. This is shown by inter laminar shear tests and compression after impact tests.
