A Finite Element Model to Simulate the Cutting of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Composite Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the present study, the finite element model of machining carbon fiber reinforced aluminum matrix composites with representative fiber orientation of 90 degree is established with the following developments: (i) a Johnson-Cook constitutive model of each component in the multi-phase composite materials; (ii) a failure model of the composite material based on physical separation criterion; (iii) the interface between fiber and matrix defined by a interaction. This simulating method can be developed to each kind of fiber reinforced composite materials.
