Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a parametric modeling method for wood microstructure based on finite element, belonging to the technical field of simulation analysis of wood mechanical properties. Background Art

[0002] As a natural biomass material, the mechanical properties of wood are complex and variable, being deeply affected by multiple factors such as microstructure, growth conditions, moisture content, etc., showing significant anisotropic characteristics. Currently, the performance testing of wooden furniture mainly relies on traditional experimental methods, which involve the preparation and testing of a large number of specimens and require strict mechanical property testing under standard environments. However, this method is not only time-consuming and laborious with high costs, but also difficult to comprehensively and accurately reflect the performance of wood in actual use environments. To make up for this deficiency, the industry has begun to explore simulation testing technologies for the performance of wooden furniture. Existing simulation testing technologies mainly focus on the characterization of the macroscopic mechanical properties of wood, usually simplifying wood as an isotropic or orthotropic material to simplify the calculation and analysis process. Although this method can simulate the mechanical properties of wood to a certain extent, there are still many limitations and deficiencies.

[0003] Although existing simulation testing technologies for the performance of wooden furniture have made some progress in the analysis of wood mechanical properties, there are still significant defects. First, current simulation testing technologies overly simplify the microstructure of wood, regarding wood as an isotropic or orthotropic material and ignoring the important influence of microscopic structures such as annual ring structure, vessel distribution, cell size, etc. on mechanical behavior. This simplified treatment leads to a deviation between the simulation results and the actual performance, making it difficult to accurately reflect the true mechanical properties of wood. Second, in some studies, wood is regarded as a microscopically homogenized material. However, as a typical multi-level biological composite material, the microstructure of wood has a high degree of heterogeneity and complexity. The homogenization treatment will obscure the correlation mechanism between the microstructure and the macroscopic mechanical response, resulting in the simulation results being unable to accurately reflect the actual performance of wood. In addition, although numerical simulation is of great significance in the analysis of wood mechanical properties, it is still very difficult to overcome the challenges between complex morphology and true mechanical behavior. Summary of the Invention

Within each range of annual ring widths, the annual ring characteristics are generated through cyclic iteration using the vessel diameter change function, the cell diameter change function, and the tracheid diameter change function, which not only improves the modeling efficiency but also makes the generated microscopic wood structure model more in line with the actual growth rules of wood.

[0056] 4. The microscopic wood structure model provided by the present invention can be directly applied to finite element analysis, providing a reliable model basis for the study of the mechanical properties and physical characteristics of wood, contributing to the in-depth development of wood science research, and helping to deeply study and understand the mechanical properties and physical characteristics of wood under different conditions.

It should be understood that the specific features in the embodiments of the present invention and the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limitations on the technical solutions of the present invention. Without conflict, the technical features in the embodiments of the present invention and the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0063] The term "and / or" merely describes the associated relationship of associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] As Figure 1 shown, this example introduces a parametric modeling method for wood microstructure based on finite element, including:

[0066] Step 1: Obtain a schematic diagram of the wood microstructure, extract the size parameters of the microstructure, and determine the wood structure.

[0067] In the present invention, by obtaining a schematic diagram of the wood microstructure and extracting the size parameters of the microstructure, the microscopic characteristics of the wood are understood, the microscopic properties of the wood are quantified, so as to determine the wood structure such as hardwood or softwood, and specific modeling is carried out according to different types of wood.

[0068] Step 2: Fit a curve equation for the wood microstructure parameters according to the size parameters to obtain the coefficients of the size change law equation.

[0069] In the present invention, by fitting the curve equation, the change law of the wood microstructure parameters is described. The coefficients of the size change law equation are the key parameters for describing the change law of the wood microstructure parameters. In the present invention, a mathematical relationship between the wood microstructure parameters and the size change is established through the coefficients of the size change law equation, providing a basis for subsequent differential modeling of the wood structure.

[0070] Step 3: Preset the global parameters of the wood microstructure model to be constructed to regularize the wood and construct the basic modeling unit.

[0071] In the present invention, the overall characteristics of the wood microstructure model, including size and shape, are defined by presetting global parameters. At the same time, the present invention constructs the basic modeling unit by regularizing the wood structure, greatly simplifying the modeling process. In the subsequent steps, the present invention repeatedly uses these modeling units to construct a more complex wood microstructure and establish the basic framework of the wood microstructure model, not only improving the modeling efficiency but also enhancing the accuracy of the wood microstructure model.

[0072] Step 4: Use the coefficients of the size change law equation and the basic modeling unit to carry out differential modeling of the wood structure respectively:

[0073] For the hardwood structure:

[0074] Based on the coefficients of the size change law equation, use the function equation to simulate the change laws of vessel density, diameter and cell diameter and apply them to the basic modeling unit to generate the vessel structure and cell structure;

[0075] Screen the vessel structure and cell structure that meet the hardwood structure to generate the hardwood microstructure.

[0076] For the softwood structure:

[0077] Based on the coefficients of the size change law equation, use the function equation to simulate the change law of tracheid diameter and apply it to the basic modeling unit to generate tracheids.

[0078] Screen the tracheid structure that conforms to the softwood structure to generate the softwood microstructure.

[0079] For the hardwood structure of the present invention, the vessel structure and cell structure are generated by simulating the vessel density, diameter change and cell diameter change law. For the softwood of the present invention, the tracheid structure is generated by simulating the change law of tracheid diameter.

[0080] According to the wood structure of the present invention, such as hardwood structure or softwood structure, differential modeling is carried out by using the coefficients of the size change law equation and the basic modeling unit to generate a model that conforms to the microscopic characteristics of different types of wood, improving the accuracy and authenticity of the model.

[0081] Step Five: Use ABAQUS to construct a wood microstructure model according to the hardwood microstructure and softwood microstructure.

[0082] ABAQUS is a finite element analysis software used to simulate and analyze complex physical systems. The use of ABAQUS by the present invention to construct a wood microstructure model can perform more in-depth mechanical analysis and simulation, and finally obtain a wood microstructure model that can be used for finite element analysis, providing a powerful tool for the mechanical properties and structural analysis of wood.

[0162] Extract the optimized microstructure geometric data to generate printable STL files to guide the design of additive manufacturing process parameters.

[0163] In this embodiment, through the integration of parametric modeling, multi-physics field simulation, and optimization design, a closed-loop prediction from the micro-structure to the macro-properties is achieved, supporting the efficient development and customized design of wood materials. For example, by optimizing the vessel density gradient, the heat insulation performance of wood is improved by 12% while the compressive strength is only reduced by 5%, verifying the application value of the wood microstructure model provided by the present invention.

[0164] In summary, in the above embodiments, the present invention extracts the size parameters of the wood microstructure and fits the size change law equation based on the size parameters, achieving a highly accurate simulation of the wood microstructure. The present invention also constructs basic modeling units by presetting global parameters and differentiates the modeling of broad-leaved wood and coniferous wood using the coefficients of the size change law equation, which can accurately reflect the differences in the micro-structures of the two types of wood, such as the different morphologies and distribution laws of vessels and tracheids, significantly improving the fineness and authenticity of the wood microstructure model. It also provides a more reliable and accurate model basis for constructing the wood microstructure model using ABAQUS according to the micro-structures of broad-leaved wood and coniferous wood, solving the problems of insufficient micro-structure characterization and high experimental costs in the existing simulation analysis of wood mechanical properties, and improving the simulation accuracy and efficiency.

[0165] By precisely extracting the laws of annual ring width, the diameter changes of vessels and tracheids, the density change law, and the cell diameter change law in the wood microstructure, and using the parameterized modeling with the fitted size change law equations, the microstructure differences between hardwoods and softwoods are accurately reflected. Through the differentiated modeling strategy, the present invention can generate highly realistic microstructure models for hardwoods and softwoods respectively, providing strong support for wood science research.

[0166] The present invention also constructs functions for the change of vessel diameter, the change of cell diameter, and the change of tracheid diameter based on the laws of annual ring width, the diameter changes of vessels and tracheids, the density change law, and the cell diameter change law, realizing the regular generation of vessels, cells, and tracheids. Within each annual ring width range, the annual ring characteristics are generated by iteratively using the functions for the change of vessel diameter, the change of cell diameter, and the change of tracheid diameter, which not only improves the modeling efficiency but also makes the generated wood microstructure model more in line with the actual growth law of wood.

[0167] The wood microstructure model provided by the present invention can be directly applied to finite element analysis, providing a reliable model basis for the research on the mechanical properties and physical characteristics of wood, contributing to the in-depth development of wood science research and helping to deeply study and understand the mechanical properties and physical characteristics of wood under different conditions.
