Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a composite material property estimation method, a composite material property estimation device, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] A method for estimating physical properties that estimates the physical properties representing the thermal and electromagnetic properties of a composite material in which one type of filler different from the matrix is ​​dispersed in the matrix based on Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method and Mori-Tanaka's theorem has been proposed (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 1). In this method, the physical properties of a composite material in which a plurality of finite ellipsoidal fillers different from the matrix are present in a matrix that is uniform and isotropic and infinite are estimated. Specifically, the volume fraction of the filler in the matrix of the composite material is used to derive a relational expression between the electric flux density field and the electric field in the composite material when an external electric flux density is applied to the composite material, taking into consideration the mutual interference between the filler and the matrix, and the permittivity of the composite material is estimated based on the derived relational expression. In addition, the electric conductivity of the composite material is estimated by replacing the electric flux density with the current density. In addition, the magnetic permeability of the composite material is estimated by replacing the electric flux density with the magnetic flux density and the electric field with the magnetic field. In addition to these electromagnetic problems, the thermal conductivity of the composite material is estimated by replacing the electric flux density with the heat flow velocity and the electric field with the temperature gradient. In the following, we will explain using the relationship between the electric flux density, the electric field, and the dielectric constant. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] Minoru Taya, "Fundamentals and Applications of Micro-Mechanics Models for Estimating the Physical Properties of Composite Materials (1)", Materia, Vol. 33, No. 4, p276-p288, 1994. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when a filler is dispersed in a composite material, a plurality of fillers may be locally unevenly distributed in the matrix to form clusters, and the formation of these clusters may cause the magnitude of the electric field in the vicinity of the fillers present inside and outside the cluster to differ. Therefore, in the method of estimating physical properties described in Non-Patent Document 1, the structure of the actual composite material is not sufficiently reflected in the model, and there is a risk that the physical properties of the composite material cannot be accurately estimated.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned reasons, and aims to provide a composite material property estimation method, a composite material property estimation device, and a program that can estimate the properties of a composite material in which a plurality of fillers are dispersed in a base material with high accuracy. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, a composite material property value estimation method according to the present invention includes: A composite material property estimation method for estimating thermal and electromagnetic properties of a composite material including a base material, and a plurality of double inclusions including a first inhomogeneous inclusion embedded in the base material and having a dielectric constant different from that of the base material, and a second inclusion having a dielectric constant equal to that of the base material and surrounding the first inhomogeneous inclusion, comprising: Obtaining a matrix dielectric constant tensor indicating the dielectric constant of the matrix and a first inhomogeneous inclusion dielectric constant tensor indicating the dielectric constant of the first inhomogeneous inclusion; acquiring a first inhomogeneous inclusion shape parameter indicating a shape of the first inhomogeneous inclusion and a dual inclusion shape parameter indicating a shape of the dual inclusion; calculating a first inhomogeneous inclusion Eshelby tensor, which is the Eshelby tensor of the first inhomogeneous inclusion, based on the first inhomogeneous inclusion shape parameters, and generating a double inclusion Eshelby tensor, which is the Eshelby tensor of the double inclusion, based on the double inclusion shape parameters; acquiring a first intrinsic electric field vector indicating an intrinsic electric field possessed by the first inhomogeneous inclusion; acquiring an action electric flux density vector indicating an electric flux density when a preset electric flux density is applied to the composite material, and an action electric field vector indicating an electric field of the composite material when the electric flux density is applied to the composite material; Obtaining a volume fraction of the first heterogeneous inclusion in the dual inclusion and a volume fraction of the dual inclusion in a base material; calculating an equivalent intrinsic electric field vector indicating a volume average of an equivalent intrinsic electric field in the first inhomogeneous inclusion and a volume average of an equivalent intrinsic electric field in the double inclusion based on the matrix permittivity tensor, the first inhomogeneous inclusion permittivity tensor, the first inhomogeneous inclusion Eshelby tensor, the double inclusion Eshelby tensor, the first intrinsic electric field vector, the action electric flux density vector, the action electric field vector and the two volume contents; and estimating thermal and electromagnetic properties of the composite material using the equivalent eigenelectric field vector. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present invention, an equivalent intrinsic electric field vector indicating the volume average of the equivalent intrinsic electric field in the first inhomogeneous inclusion and the cluster is calculated based on the matrix permittivity tensor, the first inhomogeneous inclusion permittivity tensor, the first inhomogeneous inclusion Eshelby tensor, the cluster Eshelby tensor, the first intrinsic electric field vector, the action electric flux density vector, the action electric field vector, and the volume content. Then, the calculated equivalent intrinsic electric field vector is used to estimate the thermal and electromagnetic properties of the composite material. The estimation result includes the volume content of the first inhomogeneous inclusion in the cluster, and by combining this size with the effect of the local uneven distribution of the first inhomogeneous inclusion, the thermal and electromagnetic properties of the composite material can be estimated using a model that is closer to the actual state of the composite material in which these first inhomogeneous inclusions are dispersed in the matrix, thereby improving the estimation accuracy of the thermal and electromagnetic properties of the composite material.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the composite material property estimation method according to the present embodiment, the thermal and electromagnetic properties of a composite material in which reinforcing base materials (fillers) such as particles, fibers, and flakes other than woven or knitted fibers are dispersed in a matrix are estimated. In this composite material property estimation method, the structure of the composite material is approximated by one of ten types of models, and the thermal and electromagnetic properties of the composite material are estimated using the adopted model. The ten types of models include a mixed double inclusion model, a unidirectionally oriented high-level cluster model, a unidirectionally oriented low-level cluster model, a multi-type high-level cluster model, a multi-type low-level cluster model, a mixed triple inclusion model, a unidirectionally oriented double heterogeneous inclusion high-level cluster model, a unidirectionally oriented double heterogeneous inclusion low-level cluster model, a multi-type double heterogeneous inclusion high-level cluster model, and a multi-type double heterogeneous inclusion low-level cluster model, which will be described later. First, the Eshelby equivalent inclusion method and the Mori-Tanaka theorem, which are the basis of these models, will be briefly described.

[0010] In Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method, first, as shown in Figure 1(A), a composite material can be approximated by a model in which an isotropic and homogeneous matrix D contains an inhomogeneous inclusion Ω of ellipsoidal shape. Here, the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω has a dielectric constant e different from that of the matrix D. D* ij and has a specific electric field E p i and is completely bonded to the base material D. In the model shown in FIG. 1(A), the equivalent equation (1) below is derived from Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method.

[0011]

number

[0012] Here, e D denotes the dielectric constant of the base material D. Also, E 0 j is the electric flux density D in the composite material. 0 i (=e D E0 i ) is applied to the electric field, and H ij denotes the Eshelby tensor of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω. Also, E * i is the equivalent specific electric field representing the difference between the dielectric constant of the base material D and the dielectric constant of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω, and is an unknown quantity that can be obtained by solving the equivalent equation (1). Here, the Eshelby tensor H ij When the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω is an ellipsoid, it is expressed as a function with the shape factor of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω as an argument, and the shape factor is expressed as a function of the aspect ratio of the ellipsoid. Specifically, it is expressed by formulas (6) to (14) described in the literature by Araki (Araki Hidetoshi et al., "Micromechanics Analysis of Macroscopic Dielectric Constant and Macroscopic Linear Expansion Coefficient of Composite Material Containing Ellipsoidal Reinforcement Substrate", Proceedings of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (Series A), Vol. 74, No. 745, September 2008, pp. 37-44).

[0013] Also, the electric flux density in the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω is D i Then, the following relational expression (2) can be derived from the expression (22.13.1) described in the document Mura (T. Mura, “Micromechanics of Defect in Solids Second, revised edition”, Kluwer Academic Publishers, (1987), pp.178-187.).

[0014]

number

[0015] Therefore, using the relational expression (1), the equivalent specific electric field E is calculated from the dielectric constants of the base material D and the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω, the electric flux density acting on the composite material and the electric field generated by it, and the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω. * i The specific electric flux density generated in the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω can be calculated from the calculated equivalent specific electric field, the aforementioned Eshelby tensor, and the specific electric field using the relational expression (2).

[0016] Also, assume that the composite material can be approximated by a model in which a large number of inhomogeneous inclusions Ω are randomly present in a matrix D so that the principal axes of the inhomogeneous inclusions Ω are aligned in the same direction, as shown in FIG. 1(B). In this case, an interaction electric flux density occurs due to the interaction between the large number of inhomogeneous inclusions Ω contained in the composite material or between the inhomogeneous inclusions Ω and the matrix D. The volume average of this interaction electric flux density is expressed by the following relational expression (3) based on the expressions (9) and (10) showing the Mori-Tanaka theorem described in the literature Mori (T. Mori and K. Tanaka, "Average Stress in Matrix and Average Elastic Energy of Materials with Misfitting Inclusions", Acta Metallurgica, Vol. 21 (1973), pp. 571-574.) and the above-mentioned expression (2).

[0017]

number

[0018] Here, D ~ i represents the volume average of the interaction electric flux density, and f Ω indicates the volume content of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω in the base material D. The equivalent formula (4) below is derived from formula (2) or formula (6) and formula (1) described in the literature by Taya (M. Taya and TW Chou, Internal Journal of Solids and Structures, 17 (1981), pp. 553-563.) and the above formula (3).

[0019]

number

[0020] Therefore, by substituting equation (3) into the equivalent equation (4), we obtain D ~ i Using the formula with the above eliminated, the equivalent specific electric field E * iAfter calculating, the specific electric flux density generated in the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω can be calculated from the calculated equivalent specific electric field and the aforementioned Eshelby tensor and specific electric field using the relational expression (2). Then, the volume average of the interacting electric flux density in the composite material can be calculated from the calculated specific electric flux density or equivalent specific electric field using the aforementioned expression (3).

[0021] In addition, for the above equation (4), the electric flux density and the electric field are expressed as row vectors D and E with 3 rows and 1 column, respectively, and the Eshelby tensor H ij and dielectric constant e D* ij are 3-by-3 matrices H and e D* and the superscript Ω is added. The specific electric field and the equivalent specific electric field are expressed by the symbol < > which indicates the volume average within Ω. Ω Using the above formula and adding the superscript Ω, this is expressed as the equivalent formula (5) below.

[0022]

number

[0023] Here, I represents a unit matrix. From equations (4) and (3), the following relational expression (6) is derived.

[0024]

number

[0025] The relation between the electric flux density acting on the composite material and the corresponding electric field satisfies the following formula (7).

[0026]

number

[0027] Then, from equations (5) and (6), the equivalent equation of equation (8) below is derived.

[0028]

number

[0029] Here, from the left of both sides of equation (8), (e D*Ω -e D ) -1 By multiplying by, the final equivalent equation of this model becomes equation (9) below.

[0030]

number

[0031] Here, the specific electric flux density is expressed by the symbol < >, which indicates the volume average in Ω. Ω Using the above and adding the superscript ∞ for identification purposes, the following relational expression (10) can be derived from the above expression (2).

[0032]

number

[0033] From the Mori-Tanaka theorem (3) mentioned above, the relational expression (11) below holds.

[0034]

number

[0035] Furthermore, by solving the equivalent equation (9), the volume average of the sum of the specific electric field and the equivalent specific electric field is given by the following equation (12).

[0036]

number

[0037] Then, by substituting equation (12) into equation (10), the specific electric flux density is obtained, as shown in equation (13) below.

[0038]

number

[0039] Therefore, the volume average of the specific electric flux density generated in the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω can be obtained using the relational expression (13). Furthermore, by substituting the specific electric flux density obtained using the relational expression (13) into the expression (11), the volume average of the interacting electric flux density in the composite material can be obtained.

[0040] In addition, in the above formula (9), the volume fraction f Ω The term multiplied by is the interaction electric field E that occurs throughout the composite material. ~ Considering that the above is due to the above, the equivalent equation (9) can be rewritten as the following equivalent equation (14).

[0041]

number

[0042] Furthermore, it is assumed that the composite material can be approximated by a double heterogeneous model in which there are many double heterogeneous objects V in the matrix D, each of which is composed of a heterogeneous object Ω and a heterogeneous object Γ that surrounds the heterogeneous object Ω and has a dielectric constant different from that of the heterogeneous object Ω, as shown in Figure 1(C). The heterogeneous object has a dielectric constant different from that of the matrix D, but has no inherent electric field and is completely bonded to the matrix. If there is only one double heterogeneous object in the matrix D, the equivalent equations (15) and (16) below can be derived for the heterogeneous objects Ω and Γ, respectively, from equation (10.4.24) described in the literature Nemat (S. Nemat-Nasser and M. Hori, micromechanics: overall properties of heterogeneous materials, North-Holland Publishers, (1993), pp.340-357.).

[0043]

number

[0044]

number

[0045] Here, e D is the dielectric constant of the base material D, and e D*Ω is the dielectric constant of the inner inhomogeneity Ω of the double inhomogeneity V, and e D*Γ denotes the dielectric constant of the inhomogeneous material Γ. Also, H Ω denotes the Eshelby tensor of the inhomogeneity Ω, and H V denotes the Eshelby tensor of the double inhomogeneity V, and f denotes the volume fraction of the inhomogeneity Ω in the double inhomogeneity V. If the inner inhomogeneity Ω of the double inhomogeneity V and the inhomogeneity Γ surrounding it are inhomogeneous inclusions that also have intrinsic electric fields, the equivalent equation of the inhomogeneity inclusions Ω and Γ can be derived from equations (15), (16-1), and (16-2).

number

[0046]

number

[0047] Then, from equations (16-1) and (16-2) and the aforementioned Mori-Tanaka theorem, using the same approach as in deriving the aforementioned equation (5), the equivalent equations of equations (17) and (18) below can be derived for the case where a large number of double heterogeneous inclusions are present in the base material D.

[0048]

number

[0049]

number

[0050] Then, using the same idea as in deriving equation (14), the final equivalent equations of this model are given by equations (19) and (20) from equations (17) and (18).

[0051]

number

[0052]

number

[0053] The relationship between the equivalent specific electric field and the specific electric field in the double inhomogeneous inclusion V is expressed by the following equation (21):

[0054]

number

[0055] Moreover, in a manner similar to the derivation of equation (10), the following relational expressions (22) and (23) are derived from equations (19) and (20).

[0056]

number

[0057]

number

[0058] Moreover, from equations (22) and (23), the following relational equation (24) can be obtained.

number

[0059] From the above-mentioned Mori-Tanaka theorem (11), the relational expression (25) below is established using the volume fraction fv of the double heterogeneous inclusion V in the base material D.

[0060]

number

[0061] Therefore, the equivalent intrinsic electric field of the inhomogeneous inclusions Ω and Γ can be calculated using the above-mentioned relational expressions (19) and (20), and the volume average of the intrinsic electric flux density generated in each of the inhomogeneous inclusions Ω and Γ and the double inhomogeneous inclusion V can be obtained from the calculated equivalent intrinsic electric field using the relational expressions (22) to (24). Furthermore, the volume average of the interacting electric flux density in the composite material can be obtained from the equivalent intrinsic electric field of the inhomogeneous inclusions Ω and Γ obtained using the relational expressions (19) and (20) using the above-mentioned relational expressions (25) and (24).

[0062] Next, a case will be described where a composite material can be approximated by the above-mentioned first type mixed double inclusion model. As shown in Fig. 2, the first type mixed double inclusion model is a model in which a matrix D contains a large number of mixed double inclusions V, each consisting of a heterogeneous inclusion Ω and an inclusion Γ that surrounds the heterogeneous inclusion Ω and has the same dielectric constant and intrinsic electric field as the matrix D. In other words, it corresponds to a model in which the dielectric constant of the heterogeneous inclusion Γ is made equal to that of the matrix D in the model explained using Fig. 1(C). In this case, since the dielectric constants of the heterogeneous inclusion Γ and the matrix D are equal, the equivalent intrinsic electric field at the heterogeneous inclusion Γ in the above-mentioned equation (19) can be expressed as <E *Γ > Γ can be set to 0, and the equivalent equation (26) below holds.

[0063]

number

[0064] Here, after substituting the above equation (24) into equation (25), the equivalent specific electric field at the inclusion Γ is <E *Γ > Γ If we set it to 0, we obtain the following relational expression (27).

[0065]

number

[0066] Then, by substituting the relational expression (27) into the relational expression (26), the final equivalent equation of this model becomes the following equation (28).

[0067]

number

[0068] Here, by solving the equivalent equation (28), the volume average of the sum of the intrinsic electric field and the equivalent intrinsic electric field is given by the following equation (29).

[0069]

number

[0070] The specific electric flux density is expressed by the specific electric field in the region Γ in each of the above-mentioned equations (22) to (24). <E *Γ > Γ By setting to 0, it is expressed as the following equations (30) to (32).

[0071]

number

[0072]

number

[0073]

number

[0074] In addition, in the above equivalent equation (28), f V = 0, D 0 D 0 +D ~ Substituting this, we get the interaction electric flux density D ~The equivalent equation of this model when is unknown is the following equation (33).

[0075]

number

[0076] Therefore, the equivalent intrinsic electric field of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω can be calculated using the result of the above-mentioned equation (29), and the volume average of the intrinsic electric flux density generated in each of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω, the inclusion Γ, and the mixed double inclusion V can be obtained from the calculated equivalent intrinsic electric field using the relational expressions (30) to (32). Furthermore, the volume average of the interacting electric flux density in the composite material can be obtained from the equivalent intrinsic electric field of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω calculated using the relational expression (29) using the relational expressions (25) and (32) above.

[0077] Next, we will explain the case where a composite material can be approximated by the unidirectionally oriented high-level cluster model mentioned above. The unidirectionally oriented high-level cluster model is a model in which multiple inhomogeneous inclusions Ω gather together to form a cluster V, as shown in Figure 3(A). The main semi-axial directions of the inhomogeneous inclusions Ω and cluster V are aligned in one direction within the cluster V. Furthermore, there are no inhomogeneous inclusions Ω outside the cluster V in the base material D. In this case, the volume fraction of each inhomogeneous inclusion Ω within cluster V is defined as f, and the volume fraction of the inhomogeneous inclusions Ω within cluster V is defined as f. total In this case, the volume fraction f of all the inhomogeneous inclusions Ω in the base material D is Ω is the volume fraction of cluster V, f V Using this, the relation is expressed by the following equation (34).

[0078]

number

[0079] Here, the region of the base material D in the cluster V is defined as the Γ region, and its intrinsic electric field is <E pΓ > ΓThen, as shown in FIG. 3(B), the cluster V can be regarded as a first type mixed double inclusion consisting of one inhomogeneous inclusion Ω and an inclusion Γ that surrounds the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω and has the same dielectric constant and intrinsic electric field as the base material D. The intrinsic electric field of the Γ region is <E pΓ > Γ Let the sum of the intrinsic electric field of the inhomogeneous inclusion other than the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω mentioned above and the equivalent intrinsic electric field, which is the volume average in the Γ region, be <E p(V-Ω) > V-Ω Then, the relational expression (35) below is established.

[0080]

number

[0081] Therefore, in the case of the model shown in FIG. 3(B), <E pΓ > Γ of <E p(V-Ω) > V-Ω Therefore, for equation (28), <E pΓ > Γ of <E p(V-Ω) > V-Ω and then substituting the relationship in equation (35), the final equivalent equation for this model is given by equation (36) below.

[0082]

number

[0083] Here, by solving the equivalent equation (36), the volume average of the sum of the specific electric field and the equivalent specific electric field is given by equation (37).

[0084]

number

[0085] Here, the volume average of the specific electric flux density in each cluster V is expressed by the following equations (30) and (32): <E Γ > Γof, <E p(V-Ω) > V-Ω and then substituting the relational expression in equation (35), the equation can be derived as the relational expressions shown in the following equations (38) and (39).

[0086]

number

[0087]

number

[0088] In addition, the volume average of the specific electric flux density in the Γ region, which is the base material region in cluster V, <D ∞ > Γ is expressed by the following relational expression (40).

[0089]

number

[0090] Also, the interaction electric flux density D ~ is expressed by the following relational expression (41) by substituting the relational expression (39) into the expression (25).

[0091]

number

[0092] Therefore, the equivalent intrinsic electric field of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω can be calculated using the result of the above-mentioned formula (37), and the volume average of the intrinsic electric flux density generated in the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω, the region Γ outside the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω in the cluster V, and the cluster V can be obtained from the calculated equivalent intrinsic electric field using the relational expressions (38) to (40). Furthermore, the volume average of the interacting electric flux density in the composite material can be obtained from the intrinsic electric flux density of the cluster V calculated using the relational expression (39) using the relational expression (41) above.

[0093] In addition, in the above-mentioned equivalent equation (36), f V = 0, D 0 D 0 +D ~ Substituting this, we get the interaction electric flux density D ~ The equivalent equation of this model when is unknown is the following equation (42).

[0094]

number

[0095] Next, we will explain the case where a composite material can be approximated by the unidirectionally oriented low-level cluster model mentioned above. The unidirectionally oriented low-level cluster model is a model in which, as shown in Fig. 4(A), multiple inhomogeneous inclusions Ω gather in a matrix D to form a cluster V, and inhomogeneous inclusions Ω are also present outside the cluster V in the matrix D. Here, the principal semi-axial directions of the inhomogeneous inclusions Ω and cluster V are aligned in one direction within the cluster V. Here, the inhomogeneous inclusions that exist outside the cluster V and are aligned in one direction are defined as Ω(0), and their volume fraction is f (0) Then, the volume fraction f of all inhomogeneous inclusions in the base material D is Ω If the positions of the clusters V in the base material D are random, then is expressed by the following relational expression (42).

[0096]

number

[0097] Here, for the unidirectionally oriented low-level cluster model, as shown in Fig. 4(B), the shape of cluster V(i) contained in the base material D and the volume fraction f V(i) and the volume fraction f of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω contained in cluster V(i) total(i) The clusters are n V In this case, the volume fraction f of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω in the base material D is Ωis expressed by the following relational expression (44).

[0098]

number

[0099] The unidirectionally oriented low-level cluster model is formed by adding cluster V(i) to the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω(0) dispersed throughout the entire region of the base material D. In this case, the sum of the intrinsic electric field and the equivalent intrinsic electric field of the inhomogeneous inclusion Ω(0) is <E *Ω(0) > Ω(0) + <E pΩ(0) > Ω(0) is averaged over the entire region of D. <E Γ(0) > Γ(0) is given by the following equation (45-1).

number

[0100] And, on the right hand side of equation (42), <E pΓ > Γ is shown in the above equation (45-1). <E Γ(0) > Γ(0) Furthermore, the average intrinsic electric field due to Ω(0) distributed over the entire region of the matrix D for cluster V(i) is <E Γ(0) > Γ(0) Therefore, the left side of equation (42) <E pΩ > Ω + <E *Ω > Ω From the characteristic electric field of <E Γ(0) > Γ(0) Also, on the right hand side, < L E pΩ > Ω =L Ω <E pΩ > Ω The same is true for <E pΩ > Ω from <E Γ(0) > Γ(0)After making these modifications to equation (42), substituting equation (45-1) above and rearranging, the final equivalent equation for this model is given by equation (45-2) below.

In addition, the various functions of the control units 20, 2020, 3020 and the analysis units 30, 2030, 3030 according to the present invention can be realized by using a computer system, not a dedicated system.
