The methodology of micromechanical finite element method (MFEM) is proposed to calculate the micromechanical strains on fiber and matrix under mechanical and thermal loadings. For micromechanical analysis, composite structure is idealized the square and hexagonal unit cells. Boundary conditions are determined to calculate the effective material properties of composites and the strain magnification matrix. And they are verified by comparing with the results from multi cells, and the strain distributions of the unit cells are in accordance with those of the multi cells. Finally, the effective material properties of composite structure are obtained with respect to its fiber volume fraction and compared with results from rules-of-mixture.

This paper presents a method to detect the fiber property variation of laminated GFRP plates from natural frequency response data. The combined finite element analysis using ABAQUS and the inverse algorithm described in this paper may allow us not only to detect the deteriorated elements from the mirco-mechanical point of view but also to find their numbers, locations, and the extent of damage. To solve the inverse problem using the combined method, this study uses several natural frequencies instead of mode shapes in a structure as the measured data. Several numerical results show that the proposed system is computationally efficient in identifying fiber stiffness degradation for complex structures such as composites with various layup sequences.

In order to predict the thermoelastic behavior of porous composites, poroelastic parameters are measured by using micromechanics-based finite element models. The expanding deformation caused by pore pressure, and the degradation of homogenized elastic moduli with pores are calculated for the assessment of the poroelastic parameters. Various representative volume elements considering the shape, size, and array pattern of pores are modeled and analyzed by a finite element method. The effects of porosity and material anisotropy, and the distribution of stain energy density are investigated carefully. In addition, the measured poroelastic parameters are verified by predicting the thermo-pore-elastic behavior of carbon/phenolic composites.

In this study, the thermoelastic properties of poly lactic acid (PLA) based nanocomposites are predicted by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and a micromechanics model. The stereocomplex mixed with L-lactic acid (PLLA) and D-lactic acid (PDLA) is modeled as matrix phase and a single walled carbon nanotube is embedded as reinforcement. The glass transition temperature, elastic moduli and thermal expansion coefficients of pure matrix and nanocomposites unit cells are predicted though ensemble simulations according to the hydrolysis. In micromechanics model, the double inclusion (D-I) model with a perfect interface condition is adopted to predict the properties of nanocomposites at the same composition. It is found that the stereocomplex nanocomposites show prominent improvement in thermal stability and interfacial adsorption regardless of the hydrolysis. Moreover, it is confirmed from the comparison of MD simulation results with those from the D-I model that the interface between CNT and the stereocomplex matrix is slightly weak in nature.

In this study, the nonlinear mechanical behavior of flexible textile composites was predicted by two-step analyses: micromechanics and mesomechanics. The effective material properties for fiber tows of flexible textile composite lamina were calculated in micromechanics, which were then used to calculate the effective tensile stress-strain curve of flexible textile composites in mesomechanics. A user defined material algorithm was developed and inserted in ABAQUS to account for the geometric non-linearity due to the large rotation and shear deformation of fiber tows in mesomechanics. It was found that the stress-strain behavior of flexible textile composites exhibited significant non-linearity. The effective tensile modulus agreed well with the test result.

본 연구에서는 분자동역학 전산모사와 미시역학 모델을 이용하여 나노입자의 크기와 체적분율 변화가 나노복합재의 물성변화에 미치는 영향을 효과적으로 묘사할 수 있는 순차적 브리징 해석기법을 개발하였다. 나노 입자의 크기변화와 체적분율 변화에 따른 영률과 전단계수를 분자동역학 전산모사를 통해 예측한 후, 이를 연속체 모델에서 구현하기 위해 다중입자 모델을 적용하였다. 나노입자의 크기효과를 반영하기 위해 입자와 기지 사이에 유효계면을 추가적인 상으로 도입하였고, 체적분율 효과는 나노복합재를 둘러싸는 무한영역의 물성값을 통해 조절되도록 하였다. 유효계면과 무한영역의 물성을 입자의 반경과 체적분율의 함수로 근사한 후, 다양한 입자의 크기와 체적분율에서 나타나는 나노복합재의 물성변화를 예측하였다. 제안된 해석기법의 적용을 통해 분자동역학 전산모사 결과와 잘 일치하는 예측해를 효과적으로 얻을 수 있었다.

Densification occurs by the inelastic flow of the matrix materials during the consolidation processes at high temperature for MMCs, and the results depend on many process conditions such as applied pressure, temperature and volume fraction of fiber and matrix materials. This is particularly important in titanium matrix composites since material failure may occur by either the applied conditions or microstructural parameters through the processes, and thus a generic model based on micro-mechanical approaches enabling the evolution of density over time to be predicted has been developed. The mode developed is then implemented into FEM so that practical process simulation has been carried out. Further the experimental investigation of the consolidation behavior of SiC/Ti-6Al-4V composites using vacuum hot pressing has been performed, and the results obtained are compared with the model predictions.

근년 산업의 발달에 따른 재료의 다양성때문에 구조물의 안전성 확보및 신뢰성 향상을 위하여 사용재료의 파괴방지에의 연구의 중요성이 종래에 비해서 한층 더 높아지고 있으며, 현재까지 행하여지고 있는 이들 연구를 대별하면 다음의 3가지 분야로 나눌 수 있다. 즉 제 1 은 순수형 태에서의 파괴의 본질을 결정구조나 전위론등에 기초를 두고 물성론적 입장에서 논하려고 하는 분야, 제 2 는 재료가 가진 야금학적 인자(화학성분, 미시조직인자 등)가 파괴에 미치는 영향을 미시조직학적 관점으로부터 취급하는 분야, 제 3 은 재료를 보다 거시적으로 보아서 균일한 탄 소성체로서 취급하고, 주로 역학적 관점에서 규명하는 파괴역학분야이다. 특히 20수년간 비약적인 진보를 가져온 파괴역학의 수법은 구조물의 불안정파괴에 대한 안전확보라는 견지에서 커다란 성과를 가져왔다. 파괴역학에 있어서의 흥미대상은 예나 지금이나 파괴인성(Fracture Toughness )의 문제에 향해져 있다. 본강좌에서는 파괴역학및 파괴인성의 기본적 개념에 대하여 설명함과 동시에 파괴인성의 평가법에 대해서 기술한다.

This paper presents materials and processing technique to manufacture low viscous strain-hardening cementitious composite which is suitable for structures requiring low viscosity of materials. The micromechanics and fracture mechanics tools coupled with processing techniques were adopted to achieve low viscosity of composites as well as high tensile strain capacity. Optimal volume and length of fibers and interfacial properties between fibers and matrix for composites with tensile strength of 2~3MPa were determined on the basis of the micromechanical analysis and the steady-state cracking theory. Then six mixtures were determined and the experiment was carried out to evaluate the viscosity and uniaxial tensile performance of those. From the test results, it is verified that the strain-hardening cementitious composite with low viscosity suitable for grouting applications in fresh state as well as high ductility over 1.5% in hardened state can be feasible.
