A New Multi-Scale Modeling Method for Needled C/C Composites
Mechanics of advanced materials and structures(2023)
摘要
Needled composites have stronger interlaminar properties compared to two-dimensional fiber composite structures due to the introduction of z-directional fibers in the fiber composite layup. An effective multi-scale finite element model is developed in this paper for the complex structure of needle-punched composites. Three scales, namely fRVE, pRVE, and lRVE, are modeled from the fiber scale, the delamination scale, and the laminate scale. using ABAQUS, periodic boundary conditions are applied to the RVEs at different scales to obtain the effective mechanical properties of various RVEs. Meanwhile, the effect of needling density on the needled composites is predicted by applying the above multi-scale model. The increase of needling density can enhance the out-of-plane effective mechanical properties of the composites, but it also weakens the in-plane effective mechanical properties. The maximum error of the elastic modulus calculation is 17.68% with that of the reference, thus verifying the rationality of the multi-scale model.
