Simulation of the Cracking Behavior for Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials with Different Inclusion Quantity

Abstract:

Based on the Voronoi cell finite element can also reflect fiber reinforced composites interface to take off the layer and matrix crack propagation of the new cell (X-VCFEM cell)[1]. Combined with the re-mesh strategy and grid dynamic technology, Simulated analysis in different inclusion quantity, interface crack propagation for fiber reinforced composites, the results show that for the model with four,nine,sisteen,twenty-five and thirty-six voronoi cell, The horizontal tension was not the largest; For only a Voronoi cell, The size of the horizontal tension was the largest.The result was very important reference value for manufacturing process and engineering application of fiber reinforced composite materials.
