The article presents the results of strength tests of thin-walled composite beams carried out with the use of the thermovision technique. During a beam bending test performed in a four-point support system using a testing machine, an increase in the value of the temperature on the surface of the beam was observed along with an increase in the bending input function (deflection of the beam). The curve of force (stress) is correlated with curves of changes in the values of heat emitted during the bending process. The maximum value of temperature rise of the bending composite reaches the value of ΔT = 20.02 °C. The process of the bending of a beam is accompanied by a conversion of mechanical energy into free surface energy, thermal energy as a result of damaged atomic and intermolecular bonds, and also thermal energy occurring due to friction force acting between the destroyed surfaces. The experiments carried out confirm the thesis that analysis of the temperature distribution of composites in strength tests is the basis for the quality evaluation of stress distribution in the composites tested.

Abstract:

The article presents the results of strength tests of thin-walled composite beams carried out with the use of the thermovision technique. During a beam bending test performed in a four-point support system using a testing machine, an increase in the value of the temperature on the surface of the beam was observed along with an increase in the bending input function (deflection of the beam). The curve of force (stress) is correlated with curves of changes in the values of heat emitted during the bending process. The maximum value of temperature rise of the bending composite reaches the value of ΔT = 20.02 °C. The process of the bending of a beam is accompanied by a conversion of mechanical energy into free surface energy, thermal energy as a result of damaged atomic and intermolecular bonds, and also thermal energy occurring due to friction force acting between the destroyed surfaces. The experiments carried out confirm the thesis that analysis of the temperature distribution of composites in strength tests is the basis for the quality evaluation of stress distribution in the composites tested.
