Description

Fabric composite finite element modeling method based on microcosmic geometric model
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of woven composite material modeling, in particular to a finite element modeling method for a fabric composite material based on a microscopic geometric model.
Background
The woven composite material as a novel high-performance composite material has the characteristics of high specific modulus, high specific strength, good manufacturability and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of aerospace, military and the like. The woven fabric reinforcement in the woven composite material is woven by warp yarns, weft yarns and binding yarns according to a specific topological structure rule, has obvious multi-scale characteristics, and the microstructure and the microscopic structure of the woven fabric reinforcement directly influence the macroscopic performance of the composite material.
The woven composite material microscopic scale unit cell consists of yarn and matrix, wherein the yarn consists of fiber tows and the matrix infiltrated among the fibers. However, the mesoscopic yarns of the woven composite material have a complex geometry due to the mutual compression deformation of the fiber tows during the weaving process. In the past modeling research work, certain ideal assumptions are made on the section and the path of the mesoscopic yarn, but the section of the real mesoscopic yarn dynamically changes along with the path, and the ideal assumptions often have certain differences from the real structure, so that the deformation of the fabric needs to be fully considered during modeling in order to more truly reflect the mesoscopic yarn structure of the woven composite material.
For the mesoscopic modeling of the woven composite material, a common method is to perform certain section and path assumptions on yarns based on scanning electron microscope, optical microscope and Micro-CT scanning results, so as to create an ideal model of the mesoscopic structure of the woven composite material in a parameterized manner. However, the ideal geometric modeling method is mostly used for woven composite materials with low fiber volume content, and when the fiber volume content is higher, the yarns have different waviness and have certain asymmetry and torsion in the yarn section due to mutual extrusion deformation among the yarns. The difference between the regular yarn shape and track assumed by the ideal geometric model and the real model is large, even the yarn geometric model has certain interference, and the requirement of mechanical property analysis cannot be met.
Finite element based numerical calculation is an important and effective method for studying composite materials. The method needs to establish a finite element model of the material, and whether the model can effectively reflect the internal structure of the material and directly influence the precision of each mechanical property of the subsequently forecasted material; chinese patent CN 113987882A provides a digital modeling method for a woven composite material mesoscopic yarn structure, which realizes geometric modeling of a composite material reinforcement, but the method cannot realize matrix modeling and integral grid division of the composite material.
At present, the traditional meshing method is only suitable for meshing of an ideal woven composite material mesoscopic structure (the cross section of the yarn is oval, a runway shape, a lens shape and the like), meshing is only performed on each yarn and a matrix of the reinforcement respectively, and then the reinforcement and the matrix are combined into a composite material mesh, so that meshes between yarn-yarn interfaces and yarn-matrix interfaces have certain interference, and subsequent finite element simulation results are influenced.

Constant tension is applied to the ends of the yarn, causing relative movement between the fibers, effecting changes in the path and cross-sectional shape of the yarn until approaching a true fabric structure. Fig. 3 shows a three-dimensional orthogonal fabric representative volume element micro-geometric model, with a representative volume element having a final dimension of 13.64 × 5.976 × 5.9753mm (length × width × thickness).
