A CDM Model and its FE Implementation for 2D C/SiC Composite under Tension and Shear Loads

Article Preview

Abstract:

2D C/SiC ceramic matrix composite (CMC) displays significant damage characteristic coupled with inelastic strain under tension and shear loads, which should be considered in the constitutive model. In this study, a continuum damage mechanics (CDM) model was proposed for this material, in which the process degradation of the material property was described by introducing a set of scalar damage variables, and the damage-coupling effect was also considered. Meanwhile, isotropic hardening theory was applied to form the evolution rule of inelastic strains. The model was then implemented into the UMAT in ABAQUS software and validated by comparison between the simulation and experiment results.
