In this paper, Representative Volume Element with random distribution pattern has been built and applied to study and analyze the macro mechanical properties of the carbon black filled rubber composites by the micromechanical finite element method. And numerical simulations under uniaxial compression have been made by two-dimensional plane stress model. The periodic boundary conditions are imposed on each Representative Volume Element in order to ensure the compatibility of the deformation field. The dependence of the macroscopic stress-strain behavior and the effective elastic modulus of the composites, on particle distribution pattern, particle volume fraction and particle stiffness has been investigated and discussed. It is shown that the stiffness of the composite is increased considerably with the introduction of carbon black filler particles, and the effective elastic modulus of the composite is increased with the increase of the particle volume fraction.
