Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of research on mechanical properties of composite materials, and particularly relates to a method for obtaining a staged damage shear constitutive model taking into account rate effects of composite materials. Background Art

[0002] Composite materials, characterized by high strength, high stiffness, and low density, are widely used in aerospace applications. However, aircraft structures are subject to long-term service in dynamic environments. Previous studies have shown that composite materials exhibit strain rate effects, and traditional shear constitutive models that do not consider strain rate effects have low accuracy in predicting structural dynamic response and assessing dynamic strength. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of the fibers and matrix within composite materials vary, and their damage process exhibits two damage stages. This staged damage characteristic of composite materials should be fully considered when constructing shear constitutive models for composite materials. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a staged damage shear constitutive model that accounts for the strain rate effects of composite materials.

[0003] Current research on dynamic shear constitutive models for composite materials has the following main problems: first, the strain rate effect of composite materials is ignored; second, the nonlinear effects of composite material damage caused by composite material damage are ignored; and third, the differences in damage accumulation between fibers and matrices within composite materials are ignored, and a single distribution model is used to characterize the damage accumulation characteristics of fibers and matrices within composite materials. These factors reduce the accuracy of composite shear constitutive models and, consequently, the accuracy of predicting the dynamic response of composite structures.

[0004] Therefore, a high-precision shear constitutive model that can simultaneously consider the strain rate effect and staged damage characteristics of composite materials is urgently needed in scientific research and engineering applications. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for obtaining a staged damage shear constitutive model of composite materials taking into account the rate effect of composite materials. The dynamic shear constitutive model of composite materials obtained by this method can effectively improve the dynamic response prediction and dynamic strength assessment accuracy of composite materials structures under dynamic loads.

[0006] The technical solutions for achieving the purpose of the present invention are:

[0007] A method for obtaining a staged damage shear constitutive model of a composite material taking into account rate effects comprises the following steps:

[0008] Complete dynamic shear mechanical properties tests of composite materials at multiple strain rate levels and record the shear strain rate and shear stress-strain data for each test;

[0009] Based on the characteristics of staged damage of fiber and matrix in composite materials, a staged damage shear constitutive model with unknown parameters is proposed.

[0010] Based on the shear stress-strain data at different strain rates measured in the experiment, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to obtain the parameter values ​​of the stage-type damage shear constitutive model corresponding to each test data at the corresponding strain rate. The functional relationship between the parameter values ​​of the stage-type damage shear constitutive model and the strain rate is obtained by polynomial fitting.

[0011] Finally, the functional relationship between the parameter values ​​of the staged damage shear constitutive model and the strain rate is substituted into the staged damage shear constitutive model containing unknown parameters to obtain the staged damage shear constitutive model that takes into account the rate effect of the composite material.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:

[0013] This invention provides a method for accurately obtaining a dynamic shear constitutive model for composite materials. This method considers both the strain rate effects of the initial stiffness and damage characteristics caused by the rate dependence of crack propagation within the composite material, as well as the staged damage characteristics caused by the differential damage between the fiber and matrix within the composite material. A method for obtaining a staged damage shear constitutive model for composite materials that accounts for the rate effect is proposed. The resulting dynamic shear constitutive model for composite materials has clear physical meaning and high accuracy, effectively improving the accuracy of dynamic response prediction and dynamic strength assessment of composite structures under dynamic loads.

[0018] Complete dynamic shear mechanical properties tests of composite materials at multiple orders of magnitude of strain rates, and record the shear strain rate and shear stress-strain data for each test.

[0019] Completing the dynamic shear mechanical properties test of composite materials at multiple orders of magnitude of strain rates means completing the in-plane shear mechanical properties test of composite materials or the interlaminar shear mechanical properties test of composite materials at no less than 3 different orders of magnitude of strain rates. The distance between each two adjacent strain rates should be no less than 10 times, and the number of effective tests at the same strain rate should be no less than 5 times.

The parameters E1, λ1, k1, E2, λ2, and k2 are all functions related to the shear strain rate.

[0023] Based on the shear stress-strain data at different strain rates measured in the experiment, the particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to obtain the parameter values ​​of the stage-type damage shear constitutive model corresponding to each test data at the corresponding strain rate; and the functional relationship between the parameter values ​​of the stage-type damage shear constitutive model and the strain rate is obtained by polynomial fitting. The specific steps are as follows:

[0024] 1) The parameter values ​​and shear strain rate of the composite material stage damage shear constitutive model are dimensionless and can be expressed as:

[0025]

[0026] Where c p represents the parameters of the stage-type damage shear constitutive model, c p =E1, λ1, k1, E2, λ2, k2; and are the dimensionless stage-damage shear constitutive model parameter values ​​and the dimensionless shear strain rate, respectively; and are the parameter values ​​of the stage damage shear constitutive model and the dimension of the shear strain rate,

[0027] 2) The functional relationship between the parameter values ​​of the stage-type damage shear constitutive model and the logarithmic strain rate is fitted using a quadratic polynomial, which can be expressed as:

[0028]

[0029] Where, and are the quadratic term coefficient, linear term coefficient and constant term coefficient of the quadratic function of the staged damage shear constitutive model parameters.

[0030] Finally, the functional relationship between the parameter values ​​of the staged damage shear constitutive model and the strain rate is substituted into the staged damage shear constitutive model with unknown parameters to obtain the staged damage shear constitutive model that takes into account the rate effect of the composite material. It is expressed as follows:

[0031]

[0032] in are the dimensions of E1 and E2 respectively, and are the quadratic coefficients of the quadratic functions of parameters E1, λ1, k1, E2, λ2 and k2, respectively. and are the linear coefficients of the quadratic functions of parameters E1, λ1, k1, E2, λ2 and k2, respectively. and are the constant term coefficients of the quadratic function of parameters E1, λ1, k1, E2, λ2 and k2 respectively.

Record the shear strain rate and shear stress-strain data of each test, and repeat 5 valid tests at each loading strain rate.

[0036] Step 2: Based on the characteristics of fiber and matrix staged damage in C / C composites ( Figure 1 (As shown in
