摘要： This paper presents an analytical, numerical, and experimental study on the failure behavior of single hat-shaped T-joints made of plain woven carbon fiber polymer (T300/epoxy 618) and subjected to out-of-plane bending. The T-joint is manufactured by vacuum bag molding process at room temperature. An analytical model is developed to analyze the experimental results and to establish the associated failure criteria. Two failure modes: (a) laminate buckling and (b) laminate crushing are considered, and the theoretical relationships for predicting the failure load associated with each of the two modes were developed. The experimental data correlate closely with the analytically predicted behavior, including failure mode and bending stiffness. In particular, both laminate buckling and laminate crushing are observed during the experiment with laminate crushing being the final failure mode, which can be considered to be the most important failure mode of the fabricated T-joint. In addition, numerical simulations based on the finite element method and the Hashin damage criteria also accurately predict the flexural modulus, the peak load, and failure locations of the T-joint obtained in the test.
