Construction of a Multi-scale Characterization Method for Damage Evolution of Fiber-wound Composites
In order to solve the problem that the multiscale characterization of composites is mainly based on the mechanical property prediction from mesoscale to macroscale,a multiscale characterization method of damage evolution of fiber wound composites was developed.This method includes the prediction of structural mechanical properties from mesoscale to macroscale and the characterization of component damage evolution from macroscale to mesoscale.By determining the constitutive models and mechanical property parameters of fiber winding composites components,the mechanical property prediction of unidirectional composites based on mesoscale random fiber distributions representative volume element(RFDRVE)is completed.Then the macroscale mechanical properties of NOL rings of fiber wound composites were predicted.Besides,the mesoscale damage evolution behavior of NOL ring was obtained by analyzing the macroscopic damage situation of NOL ring and loading the damage strain to RFDRVE,and the mesoscale damage evolution morphology was observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The results show that the maximum error of NOL rings between the mesoscale to macroscale prediction tensile strength and macroscale average tensile strength is only 5.08%under different winding tensions,and the macroscale to mesoscale can characterize the fiber fracture,matrix fracture,and fiber-matrix interface failure in the mesoscale components of NOL rings.The multiscale characterization system of damage evolution of fiber-wound composites can predict the structure mechanical properties from mesoscale to macroscale and characterize the components damage evolution from macroscale to mesoscale.
