Popis: |
The use of composite materials for structures subjected to impacts requires a deep understanding about the dynamic behaviour of the material. To this end, a physically-based computational micromechanics simulation tool has been developed to predict failure initiation in a composite ply over a wide range of strain rates. The computational micromechanics framework incorporates constitutive models for the fibre, matrix and fibre-matrix interface, which are partly calibrated with novel micromechanical testing techniques. The simulation tool was applied to two matrix-dominated deformation modes of the ply: transverse compression and in-plane shear. The comparison of simulation and experimental results at coupon level have revealed a change in failure initiation mechanism of the composite ply with strain rate, which was then corroborated through observation of the fracture surfaces on the samples. |
