Abstract:

In this paper, the damage mechanism of carbon⁃fiber⁃reinforced polymeric composites with an aviation structure was studied under the electro⁃wet coupling multiple fields. The electro⁃wet coupling environment⁃test platform was used to perform an electro⁃wet coupling treatment for the composites. The surface temperature of the composite samples was monitored in real time, and the evolution rule of the surface temperature with current intensity and electrification time was obtained. Moreover, a change in weightlessness rate under different current intensity was also obtained for the composite samples. The bending properties of the composite samples treated with different environmental conditions were measured, and their fracture morphology and surface morphology were observed and analyzed. The results indicated that the higher the energization current intensity, the higher is the stable surface temperature of the composite samples. The surface stable temperature of the composite samples increased with an increase in energization time at the same current value, and the moisture absorption tended to be greater than the dehumidification. After the 10 A electric⁃wet coupling treatment for 96 h, the composite samples reached the equilibrium of moisture absorption and dehumidification, and the samples after 12 A and 15 A electric⁃wet coupling treatment presented different mass losses. After the electro⁃wet coupling treatment at different current intensities, the sample interface was damaged to a certain extent. This makes the bending strength decrease, and the decrease range is positively correlated with the current intensity.
