Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of finite element simulation of fiber reinforced composite materials, and in particular relates to a finite element simulation method for progressive damage analysis of a composite unidirectional plate. Background Art
[0002] Carbon fiber has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, high modulus, stable chemical properties, etc. Carbon fiber reinforced composite materials have attracted wide attention in the fields of aerospace and structural reinforcement due to their high specific strength, high specific stiffness, good fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance, and easy processing. Unidirectional carbon fiber composite panels are widely used in the field of building reinforcement due to their excellent axial mechanical properties.
[0003] Unidirectional fiber reinforced composite panels are orthotropic composite materials. Due to the directional arrangement of fibers, there are significant differences in the mechanical properties of unidirectional panels in the fiber direction and perpendicular to the fiber direction. The tensile strength and modulus in the fiber direction are much higher than those perpendicular to the fiber direction. The compressive strength of unidirectional panels in the fiber direction is also lower than the tensile strength. When subjected to load, the failure mode of unidirectional panels may include fiber breakage, matrix cracking, and debonding of the fiber-matrix interface. Due to its anisotropic properties, the relationship between the load direction and material properties must be fully considered during design to ensure the stability and safety of the structure. In many scenarios, out-of-plane impact or shear force of composite unidirectional panels must be considered, and out-of-plane failure occurs. The two-dimensional Hashin failure criterion in ABAQUS cannot be used to determine this. The three-dimensional Hashin failure criterion must be used to determine whether the material is damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to write a VUMAT subroutine to implement numerical simulation based on the three-dimensional Hashin failure criterion.
[0004] Patent "CN117828936A" discloses a finite element simulation method for progressive damage analysis of composite bolt connections. It uses the VUMAT subroutine to realize secondary development of ABAQUS software and performs three-dimensional progressive damage analysis on composite bolt connection structures. Although the patent mentions a damage model based on the Hashin failure criterion, it does not cover in-plane or out-of-plane damage modes of the model, such as in-plane shear failure, out-of-plane shear failure, etc. Summary of the invention

[0040] Step S12: input the damage stiffness matrix, the three-dimensional Hashin failure criterion and the stiffness degradation code;
[0041] The stiffness matrix is as follows:
[0042]
[0043] Among them, σ ij (i,j=1,2,3) is the stress component, ε ij(i,j=1,2,3) is the strain component, Eii(i=1,2,3) is the tensile modulus, Gij(i,j=1,2,3,i≠j) is the shear modulus, v ij (i, j = 1, 2, 3, i ≠ j) is the Poisson’s ratio, and 1, 2, and 3 represent the fiber direction, the in-plane perpendicular direction, and the out-of-plane perpendicular direction, respectively.
