Simulation and Analysis on Fiber Reinforced Rubber Matrix Sealing Composite Based on Cohesive Zone Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

A finite element model on the single fiber pull-out test of short fiber reinforced rubber matrix sealing composites (SFRC) were established. The effects of the interphase properties on the interfacial stress distribution and initial debonding strain are investigated based on the cohesive zone model (CZM). The influences of interphase thicknesses and elastic modulus on the interfacial debonding behavior of SFRC are obtained. The results show that the interfacial initial debonding strain increases with the increasement of interphase thickness, and it decreases with the increasement of interphase elastic modulus. An interphase thickness of 0.4 μm and an interphase elastic modulus of about 750 MPa are optimal to restrain the initiation of the interfacial debonding.
