Abstract

The meticulous reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) braided composite materials serves as a crucial foundation for achieving high-fidelity simulations. Nonetheless, the transition from tomographic images to a 3D mesh entails a laborious and time-intensive process. To address this, an integrated procedure based on artificial intelligence is proposed for reconstructing meshes from tomograms. The initial stage of the process involves employing artificial intelligence techniques to segment complex contours and optimize high-dimensional contours. This facilitates the input of high-quality images needed to reconstruct accurate digital twins with strong convergence. The subsequent reconstruction phase integrates various calculations, including shape interpolation, contour extraction, 3D surface reconstruction, 3D mesh reconstruction, and element data interpolation. During this process, optimization objectives are set to minimize the deviation between the digital twin's surface and the actual surface, as well as to optimize the aspect ratio of the element mesh. Upon completion of the aforementioned steps, high-quality input files suitable for finite element calculations are directly generated. Ultimately, the proposed method utilizes the reconstructed finite element model for mechanical analysis, and the results are found to be in good agreement with experimental tests. This method offers an efficient and rapid way to achieve high-quality reconstruction of complex digital twins.
