Abstract
The effects of the content and position of SMA wires on the static properties of glass fiber reinforced epoxy (GF/epoxy) composite laminates prepared by vacuum-assisted resin infusion (VARI) process were investigated. According to the influence of different embedding content and position of SMA wire on mechanical performances of composite laminates, the optimal content and optimal position of SMA were found out. The static mechanical finite element models of GF/epoxy composite and shape memory alloy hybrid composites (SMAHCs) are established. The validity of the models is verified by comparing the simulation results with the experimental results. According to the finite element results, the influence of SMA embedding content and position on the mechanical performances of composites is described quantitatively.
