Background technology
When using the liquid molding technology to make composite element, its quality is subjected to influence of various factors, comprises character, the ruuning situation of equipment and the formulation of process conditions etc. at character, matrix and fabric interface of character, the matrix of fibre reinforced materials.Permeability is the characteristic of fiber, is one of important parameter that influences the liquid molding technology.The fiber pervasion rate can be divided into face intrinsic permeability and face exosmosis rate.Face exosmosis rate is exactly the parameter of suffered resistance situation when reflecting fluid by the fabric thickness direction.The face intrinsic permeability is the index of fluid suffered resistance when passing through the fabric plane.The face intrinsic permeability of fabric and face exosmosis rate are the mold filling processes of prediction composite liquid moulding process, carry out the important parameter of mould design and optimization technology, finally influence the quality and the stability of composite element.It is mobile that the mold filling process of most liquid composite moulding process and optimal design thereof are reduced to two dimension at present, promptly only use the face intrinsic permeability, and for the compound substance of making complicated shape and structure, only adopt the face intrinsic permeability then can not satisfy actual needs far away.The variation of the continuous expansion, particularly fibre reinforced materials of using along with fibre reinforced composites, importance that the face exosmosis rate of fabric and measuring technology thereof have demonstrated it and practical application meaning.
At present still do not have standard about the method for testing of external permeability of fiber fabric surface both at home and abroad, that is to say does not also have unified, reliable and stable method of testing.Therefore many scholars study this problem, for example: Nai Danuofu (Nedanov) has proposed to test simultaneously the method for external permeability of fiber fabric surface and face intrinsic permeability (referring to " measuring the method for the three-dimensional permeability of fibre reinforced materials ", the compound substance magazine, A method to determine 3D permeability of fibrous reinforcements.Journal ofcomposite materials, 2002,36 (2): 241-254).Experiment is to finish certain injection under the flow conditions, and in the test of face exosmosis rate, fluid is to obtain by the volume calculation of monitoring fluid inflow fiber by the position of thickness direction.Te Weinuo people such as (Trevino) discovers, the face exosmosis rate of most of reinforcing materials depends on the thickness of shop layer (referring to " analyzing the injection 1 of resin with the alternative fiber felt: measure permeability and compressibility ", polymer composites, Analysis of resin injectionmolding in molds with replaced fiber mats.1:Permeability and compressibilitymeasurement.Polymer composites.1991,12 (1): 20-29), Mr. Wu people such as (Wu) has then designed the circular prefabricated component of 18 millimeters of diameters and has finished the permeability experiment of fabric (referring to " measurement of face exosmosis rate and its application in the liquid molding technology; polymer composites ", Trans-plane fluid permeability measurement and its application in liquidcomposite molding.Polymer Composites, 1994,15 (4), 289-298.).This method has designed a pair of concentric circles Tong device and has measured, and it utilizes the one dimension experiment measuring face exosmosis rate that flows, and finds that injection pressure influences the test result of permeability; The method of tieing up its position, liquid flow forward position when having used heat sensitive sensor to write down composite liquid by fabric face exosmosis in the method for testing of true Bock people such as (Weitzenb ck) design is (referring to " measurement of three-dimensional permeability ", composite A, Measurement of three-dimensional permeability.Composites Part A, 1998,159-169,29A.).This method is pre-buried heat sensitive sensor between fibrage, thereby has influenced the authenticity that flows; The method of its position, liquid flow forward position was (referring to " utilize and implant the three-dimensional permeability that light transmitting fiber is measured fiber preform " when people such as peace (Ahn) Mr. had then proposed to utilize pre-buried light transmitting fiber monitoring composite liquid by fabric face exosmosis, the compound substance magazine, Measurement of the three-dimensional permeability of fiber preforms using embedded fiber optic sensors.J.Composites Material., 1995,29 (6), 714-733.).The flow front of this method record is fibre-optic infiltration situation, and there is gap in the permeability of the fiber of surveying with reality, has therefore influenced the authenticity that flows too; Si Duowen people such as (St ven) has proposed a kind of variation that utilizes ultrasound wave receptacle monitoring liquid its flow front position when the fabric thickness direction permeates again, utilize the variation of ultrasound wave in different medium to receive the information of fluid (referring to " the continuous monitoring resin is by the three-dimensional flow of fabric ", composite A, Continuous monitoring of three-dimensional resin flowthrough a fibre preform.Composites:Part A 34 (2003) 475-480.).Wo Dunan people such as (Woerdeman) has then designed a mathematical model, utilize six one dimensions flow method of testing test in the face of fabric and face exosmosis rate (referring to " measuring the explanation of three-dimensional permeability among the RTM ", polymer composites, Interpretation of 3-D permeability measurements forRTM molding.Polymer Composites, 1995,16 (6): 470-480.).This method has proposed to calculate the mathematical model of four face intrinsic permeabilities and two face exosmosis rates, but does not have experimental technique, because involved several one dimensions experiments are only feasible in theory in the literary composition, and is difficult in practice realize.This shows, develop and method of testing and the technology of setting up face exosmosis rate has important practical significance.
Summary of the invention
At the deficiencies in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved in the present invention is a kind of method of measuring external permeability of fiber fabric surface of design, this method can reflect directly perceived, clear, accurately that fluid passes through the positional information of fabric sample flow front, and method is simple, easy to operate, has practicality.
The technical scheme that the present invention solve the technical problem is the method for testing of a kind of external permeability of fiber fabric surface of design, and this method at first is prepared into tested fabric band shape and is wound in the disc sample; Then this sample is placed in the testing mould of upper and lower mould and composition and clamps, and make the center of sample consistent with the liquid injection port center on the counterdie; By the liquid of liquid injection system injection constant pressure, this force value is gathered by computer data acquisition system through pressure transducer; Digital camera record fluid based on test experiments gained data, can calculate the face exosmosis rate asked according to the flow law of Darcy's law in isotropic medium by the position of fabric sample flow front simultaneously.
The method great majority of existing test surfaces exosmosis rate adopt the one dimension current method to finish.During this method test surfaces exosmosis rate, earlier fabric is cut into rectangle, again they are stacked together and form certain thickness rectangular parallelepiped, put into the mould of a rectangular parallelepiped then, require fluid from the linear injection of mould minor face, because the cutting of fiber samples can not be consistent with die size fully, always in the certain slit of marginal existence, causing fluid to take the lead in flowing out along fabric edge (and between mould) usually---this phenomenon is called the edge and flows, therefore be difficult to form desired linear flowing, make experiment be difficult to normally carry out, more can't use Darcy's law and calculate.Method of testing of the present invention is a kind of simple, accurate and data easy to handle measuring method, having overcome existing one dimension current method test surfaces exosmosis rate is easy to generate the edge and flows, flow front can not be accurately monitored, cause the permeability data famine of various fabrics, test inaccurate, the deficiency of practical application difficulty.Method of testing of the present invention is by ingenious design, can also make the measurement of the face exosmosis rate of difficulty test be converted into the measurement of the face intrinsic permeability of easy test, because tested sample face exosmosis rate is a constant, flow front will form one round-shaped, carry out image analysis and calculating easily, thickness direction is increased greatly simultaneously, makes the position of flow front be easy to be recorded, and has important use in practice and is worth.
