为了提高聚酰亚胺复合材料柔性薄膜连接性能,本文开展了柔性太阳翼毯面缝纫连接方法及拉伸性能试验研究,利用非接触应变测量技术(DIC)评估了连接拉伸失效特征,并探索了缝纫参数对连接性能的影响规律。结果表明:聚酰亚胺纤维织物复合材料板缝纫接头拉伸力和位移响应特征先呈现线性增长,随后达到失效强度,缝合孔周围应力集中明显,横向纤维束拉伸剥离,力随位移的增加波浪形下降且下降速率不断加剧;所有缝合接头失效模式相似,拉伸过程和最终失效后试件均发生严重褶皱,缝合区横向丝束间树脂强度较低导致大量丝束被拉伸剥离,但纤维丝束剥离仅发生在缝合区;4 mm缝合线迹对应的缝合接头最大拉伸载荷值均值最高,线迹长度越短,最大拉伸载荷值的均值趋向越大;50%位错较25%位错可以获得更大的最大拉伸载荷值均值;8 mm缝合线迹对应的试件除发生褶皱和横向纤维束剥离外,试件缝合区域两端均发生了缝线拉脱。所有缝合参数下试件拉伸滑移量均低于0.2 mm,随着拉伸次数增加滑移均值呈现出较弱的上涨趋势,缝合区表现出刚度退化的迹象;拉伸加载后,缝合区无论正面或背面均未发生胶层剥离、表面开裂、纤维剥离等现象,缝合连接方法表现出较高可靠性和刚度。
Objective Polyimide fiber fabric composite laminate is a typical aerospace flexible film material. Achieving high-quality joining of these film composites remains challenging, and the joining quality has a significant influence on the service performance of spacecraft. This study investigates the sewing connection method of polyimide fiber fabric composite laminate used in the flexible solar wing blanket surface of spacecraft to improve the joining performance of these film composites. Methods The sewing test of polyimide fiber fabric composite laminate is designed to evaluate the sewing quality of the joint. Both the tensile failure progression and final failure modes are characterized through quasi-static tensile tests. The surface tensile deformation of the specimen is evaluated using digital image correlation (DIC) measurement technology. In addition, parameter tests of film sewing joints are conducted to examine the influence of sewing parameters on the connection performance, including sewing dislocation and sewing stitches. Finally, the tensile slip performance of the specimen is assessed through tensile slip tests, in which different sewing parameters are also considered. Results and Discussions During the tests, adhesive layer peeling, surface cracking, and fiber peeling in the sewing area are examined. The tensile load-displacement results show that the tensile failure process of the sewing joint of polyimide fiber fabric composite laminate exhibits a linear growth characteristic in the force‒displacement curve. Both the composite material laminate and the sewing joint remain in an elastic deformation state until the failure strength is reached, leading to multiple failure modes in the joint. The parameter study indicates that the highest average maximum tensile load of the specimen corresponds to a suture stitch length of 4 mm. In addition, the shorter the suture stitch length, the higher the average maximum tensile load value. This behavior likely results from the shorter suture stitches increasing the number of joining holes when the sewing length remains the same. When the specimen is loaded, the load distribution in the suture zone becomes more uniform, and the local maximum stress level at the joining hole decreases, which in turn delays tensile failure in the suture area. From the perspective of two-line dislocation specimens, 50% dislocation yields a larger average maximum tensile load value than 25% dislocation. This is likely because the dislocation alters the local stress distribution around the suture hole and improves the joining interaction of the specimen, leading to changes in the load transfer condition. The tensile loading progression of the specimen shows that, due to the stress concentration carried by the sutures, the specimen surface becomes severely wrinkled. Before tensile failure occurs, the surface of the specimen becomes wrinkled due to local stress concentration at the connecting hole. In addition, the suture zone demonstrates the weakest load-bearing capacity because the transverse tow is carried through the resin in the tensile direction. Therefore, a large number of tows are stretched and peeled off, and the adhesive layer on the surface of the suture area is destroyed. Fiber tow peeling occurs only in the suture area, where stress concentration in the suture joint is the main cause. The tensile failure resistance in other areas remains significantly higher. At the initial loading stage, the local strain at the end of the seam is the largest, and the local surface adhesive layer is destroyed early. As the external load increases, the local strain around the suture stitch further increases, and the glue layer in the suture zone becomes damaged. Then, fiber bundles in the suture zone peel and progressively deteriorate. Eventually, the fiber bundles in the suture area completely peel off, leading to total separation and failure of the suture joint. During the tensile failure process, the failure modes of the specimens under different parameters are similar. However, when the stitches are sutured at 8 mm, all specimens are pulled off at both ends of the suture area, in addition to wrinkles and transverse fiber bundle peeling. The main reason is likely that the stitches are too long, causing the suture holes under the same load conditions to experience greater local loads. In particular, the sutures at both ends of the suture-bearing area are relatively less constrained, resulting in suture pull-off. Further analysis of the displacement of the specimen perpendicular to the surface shows that the specimen exhibits obvious and varying wrinkles during the loading process. At the beginning of loading, no wrinkles appear on the specimen surface. However, as the load increases, distinct wrinkles form, protruding in the shooting direction. Then, the folds intensify, the middle area remains convex in the shooting direction, and the edges become concave backward. Finally, the degree of wrinkling reaches a maximum and is later reduced due to specimen destruction during further loading. The tensile slip test shows that the tensile slip of the specimen under all suture parameters remains less than 0.2 mm, indicating that the suture area exhibits good stiffness. As the number of stretches increases, the mean slip value shows a weak upward trend, and the suture zone demonstrates slight stiffness degradation. After tensile loading, no adhesive layer peeling, surface cracking, or fiber peeling occurs in the sewing area on either side of the specimens. Conclusions These results indicate that the sewing connection method demonstrates high reliability and stiffness in joining polyimide fiber fabric composite structures. This study provides valuable insights for the design of aircraft thin-wall composite structure joints.
