Numerical Analysis of Macro-Scale Mechanical Behaviors of 3D Orthogonal Woven Composites using a Voxel-Based Finite Element Model
Source abstract
Abstract
A study is conducted with the aim of developing voxel-based finite element method related to the whole fiber distribution for predicting the macro-mechanical properties of 3D orthogonal woven composites. For the rationality of this model, multi-scale finite element method, which is on the basis of the surface and interior representative volume cells, and digital image correlation tests are carried out. The results show that the proposed voxel-based finite element method is capable of precisely calculating the macro-level properties of 3D orthogonal woven composites, validated by the comparison the mechanical behaviors as well as the full-field strain fields.
