The Influence of Nonlinear Matrix on Mechanical Behavior of Polymer Particulate Composite

Abstract:

In this contribution the mechanical behavior of polymer particulate composite is studied. A numerical model is created as three phase continuum when a matrix, particles and an interphase are considered. Size of particles and properties of matrix are determined from experiment. A non-linear behavior of matrix is considered in calculations. The main objective is to estimate mechanical response of particulate composite depending on the change in matrix and interphase properties. The results are evaluated for different volume filler fraction of particles. The finite element commercial code ANSYS is used for calculations. Results indicated that by the change of volume filler fraction and properties of matrix and interphase it can be obtained composite with relatively different properties.
