Strength Evaluation of Unidirectional Composites Using Monte-Carlo Simulation

Article Preview

Abstract:

A statistics method was carried out to characterize the fatigue strength distribution of GF/PP composites. Based on the stress of yarn bundles, the Weibull distribution parameters were determined. Also, we had presented an expression of interfacial shear stress between yarn tows and matrix. A Monte-Carlo simulation with 2D shear-lag equation had been used to analyze the tensile strength and simulate the failure process of unidirectional stretch of composites. Good agreements were obtained between the predicted results and experimental data.
