Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of composite material mechanics technology and relates to a method for obtaining constitutive curves of composite materials that takes into account material dispersion. Background Technology

[0002] The mechanical properties of composite materials exhibit a certain degree of dispersion due to variations in manufacturing processes, the randomness of component material properties, and the uncertainty of internal defects. Constitutive modeling is one of the most critical mechanical properties of composite materials, and this dispersion significantly limits performance analysis and simulation calculations of composite structures. The constitutive curve of a composite material is essential performance data for its engineering applications; its absence would hinder these applications. Therefore, it is crucial to determine a constitutive curve that accurately reflects the true strain-strain relationship while considering material dispersion. Consequently, a method for evaluating the constitutive curve of composite materials that considers material dispersion must be found.

[0003] Currently, two methods are commonly used in engineering. The first method involves selecting a representative stress-strain curve from multiple experimental curves based on experience as the constitutive curve for the composite material. This method heavily relies on individual cognitive abilities, and the results selected by different individuals vary, thus it lacks widespread acceptance. The second method involves averaging the stress at the same strain point from multiple experimental curves. This method is widely used in engineering and scientific research; however, it is only suitable for stress-strain curves without abrupt changes in stage. For most composite materials, after failure, they transition from the damage stage to the degradation stage, resulting in a sharp drop in the stress-strain curve. In such cases, averaging the stress at the same strain point from multiple experimental curves will not yield an accurate constitutive curve for the composite material. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problem that existing methods cannot obtain accurate constitutive curves characterizing composite materials, this invention discloses a method for obtaining constitutive curves of composite materials considering material dispersion. The method includes the following steps: S1. Conduct static mechanical property tests on the test specimens and obtain multiple stress-strain curves under given conditions; S2. Perform validity checks on each of the aforementioned test stress-strain curves, and eliminate invalid curves to obtain the set of test stress-strain curves under the given conditions; S3. Using the gradient descent method, the constitutive model is fitted and solved according to the set of experimental stress-strain curves to obtain the characterization parameters. S4. Using the characterization parameters, obtain the constitutive curve of the composite material through the finite element method, and iteratively correct the constitutive curve of the composite material through the experimental stress-strain curve set until the final constitutive curve of the composite material is obtained.

[0005] Furthermore, in step S1, the set conditions include temperature and ambient atmosphere, and the static mechanical property test includes any one of tensile test, compression test and shear test.

[0006] Further, in step S2, the validity of each of the test stress-strain curves is checked, and invalid curves are removed to obtain the set of test stress-strain curves under the given conditions, including: S21. Obtain the mechanical property parameters of each of the test stress-strain curves, including the initial modulus, tensile strength, and maximum strain; S22. The validity of each mechanical performance parameter is tested according to the Z-score standardization method and aggregate classification analysis. The curves that fail the test are defined as invalid curves. After removing the invalid curves, the set of test stress-strain curves under the given conditions is obtained.

[0007] Further, in step S3, the gradient descent method is used to fit and solve the constitutive model based on the set of experimental stress-strain curves to obtain the characterization parameters, including: S31. For each test stress-strain curve in the set of test stress-strain curves, obtain the set of secant moduli under different stress levels by means of the secant method; S32. The characterization parameters of each of the experimental stress-strain curves are obtained by solving the constitutive model using the gradient descent method and each set of secant moduli.

[0008] Furthermore, in step S3, the expression for the constitutive model is: , where E and The initial modulus and strain, A and m, are obtained from the experimental stress-strain curves, respectively. f σ p ε0 and ε0 are both characterization parameters. For the natural constant e An exponential function with base 0. For stress.

[0009] Further, in step S4, the constitutive curve of the composite material is obtained using the aforementioned characterization parameters through the finite element method, including: S41. Mesh the established finite element model of the test piece and randomly select characterization parameters for each mesh using the roulette wheel method. S42. The effectiveness of the characterization parameters assigned to each grid is tested and corrected. The relationship between strain and stress is obtained by simulation test through the tested and corrected characterization parameters, and the constitutive curve of composite material characterization is obtained.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S42, the validity of the characterization parameters assigned to each grid is checked and corrected, including: S421. Select multiple cross sections at equal intervals on the finite element model of the test piece, and count the proportion of each characterization parameter assigned to the mesh in each cross section. S422. Calculate the ratio difference between the largest and smallest grids in each section. If the ratio difference is less than the threshold, the characterization parameter assigned to the grid is considered valid. If the ratio difference is greater than or equal to the threshold, the characterization parameter assigned to the grid is considered invalid. Correct the invalid characterization parameter.

[0011] Further, in step S4, the constitutive curve of the composite material is iteratively corrected using the set of experimental stress-strain curves until the final constitutive curve of the composite material is obtained, including: S43. The set of experimental stress-strain curves and the constitutive curves of the composite material are fitted and solved by the gradient descent method to obtain the first new characterization parameter. The first new characterization parameter is used to obtain the first new constitutive curve of the composite material by the finite element method. S44. The set of experimental stress-strain curves and the constitutive curve of the first new composite material are used to fit and solve the constitutive model using the gradient descent method to obtain the second new characterization parameters. The second new characterization parameters are then used to obtain the constitutive curve of the second new composite material through the finite element method. S45. Calculate the Euclidean distance R1 between the constitutive curve of the composite material and the constitutive curve of the first new composite material, and the Euclidean distance R2 between the constitutive curve of the first new composite material and the constitutive curve of the second new composite material, for the characterizing parameters. Then the constitutive curve of the second new composite material is taken as the final constitutive curve of the composite material.

[0012] The present invention provides a method for obtaining constitutive curves of composite materials that takes into account the dispersion of materials. This method fully considers the dispersion of composite materials and can obtain constitutive curves that characterize composite materials relatively accurately, laying the foundation for performance analysis of composite materials and high-fidelity simulation calculations of composite material structures.
