A Two-Scale Approach to Numerically Predict the Strength and Degradation of Composites
Source abstract
Abstract
Regarding the composite structure firstly as a composite on the macro-scale and then as the fiber phase and matrix phase on the meso scale, a two-scale approach is proposed to numerically predict the strength of fiber-reinforced composites. As the first step, the stress field is calculated by combining the macro-scale and meso-scale analysis together. With the stress field, the strength index is defined and the initial strength is then predicted. As the second step, the damage is defined and the degradation strength is then predicted. The two-scale approach is validated by analyzing a woven fiber reinforced composite under compression after impact (CAI) loading. Compared with the conventional homogenization approach, the present two-scale approach can not only calculate the stress and the damage of constituent phases on the meso scale, but obtain well correlated CAI strengths with the experimental test.
