Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a performance evaluation technology for automobile composite materials, and in particular to a method for calculating the ultimate load of a composite material laminate. Background Art
[0002] Composite materials are widely used in aviation and automobiles due to their high specific strength, high specific modulus, light weight and designability. Usually, when designing composite materials that meet certain mechanical properties, technicians in this field usually select materials and design plies based on experience, and then conduct tests after proofing. This method may lead to repeated adjustments to proofing tests, which takes a long time and wastes manpower and material resources. Therefore, it is necessary to be able to perform strength calculations in advance for design schemes. Composite laminates are the main form of composite material applications. Composite laminates are composed of several single-layer plates through a specific bonding method. The single-layer plates of composite materials are orthogonal anisotropic. Due to the different fiber arrangement modes of each single-layer plate, the strains generated under the action of external forces are different, so the final strength prediction of the laminate is a more complicated problem. At present, the performance evaluation of composite materials destroys the singleness. If a single material in the material composition is destroyed, the stiffness of the material is determined to be zero. However, composite materials are multiphase materials composed of resin matrix and fiber reinforcement. Single destruction zeroing is unreasonable for the material itself, and there is a lack of step-by-step analysis models and framework methods. Summary of the invention
