The Analysis of Interfacial Debonding Using Voronoi Cell Finite Element Method

Abstract:

This paper bases on the principle of the stress hybrid element, using voronoi cell finite element method to analysis the interfacial debonding phenomenon of a particle reinforced composite materials, then it contrasts by the commercial finite element software MARC in the same conditions of numerical simulation. Research results show that: In the interfacial debonding, especially at the crack tip stress, Stress is the biggest. Particles and matrix interface delamination is the important cause of material damage, at the same time, it has a great impact on the service life of components.
