Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2023-0085447, dated July 3, 2023, and all contents disclosed in the documents of said Korean patent application are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present invention relates to a system and method that allows for reverse engineering the strength of multilayer materials, particularly multilayer films. [Background technology]

[0003] Polymer films are non-fiber type flat plastic moldings with a thickness of 0.25 mm or less. They are lightweight, have good barrier properties, are highly transparent, and are relatively inexpensive, so they are used in almost all fields, including packaging materials, household goods, electronic devices, automobiles, and aircraft.

[0004] Synthetic polymers such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are processed into polymer films and are widely used both domestically and internationally. Currently, many synthetic polymers are used alone or blended as polymer film materials.

[0005] However, there is a limit to how a single film can meet the complex physical properties required. To overcome this limitation, we are developing multilayer materials with a structure in which two or more films are laminated.

[0006] In the development process of a multilayer material, the physical properties, particularly strength, of the multilayer material cannot be calculated by simply combining the physical properties of the individual films. Conventionally, to evaluate the physical properties, particularly strength, of a multilayer material, multilayer material specimens were manufactured for each combination and the manufactured specimens were evaluated. This method of manufacturing multilayer material specimens not only takes time to manufacture, but also has limitations in that it is difficult to evaluate both the types and physical properties of various films.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a method that can predict the physical properties, especially the strength, of a multilayer material without directly manufacturing the multilayer material. In particular, there is a strong need for a system and method with a new concept that can suggest design directions for some layers in order to realize the target physical properties of the multilayer material.

[0059] For example, the strength of a multilayer material can be calculated as follows.

[0060] Elastic modulus E of each layer k, p k、p , Poisson's ratio υ k、p , shear modulus G k、p , thickness Z k、p , stacking angle θ k、p and a step (step a) of inputting at least one of the total thickness h of the multilayer material and calculating the stress of each layer k, p; The calculated stress of each layer k and p is applied to the stacking angle θ of each layer k and p. k、p Applying the principal direction stress [σ] of each layer k, p k、p (step b) converting Strength in the principal stress direction [F] of each layer k, p entered separately k、p The strength discrimination parameter [f] that determines the strength of the multilayer material k、p (step c) configuring the Principal direction stress [σ] of each layer k, p k、p and the intensity discrimination parameter [f] k、p Step d: Calculating the safety factor for each layer k and p by combining the above. and a step (d) of extracting the minimum value of the calculated safety factors for each layer k, p and defining it as the strength value of the multilayer material.

[0061] As an example, the process for predicting the strength of a multi-layer material in the present invention is as follows.

[0062] The input information is the elastic modulus E in the machine direction (MD) 1 and transverse direction (TD) 2 of each layer k, p. k、p 1、2 , Poisson's ratio υ in the machine direction 1 and transverse direction 2 of each layer k, p k、p 1、2 , the shear modulus G in the machine direction 1 and transverse axis 2 of each layer k, p K、P1、2 , the angle θ of each layer's machine direction 1 relative to the x direction of the multilayer material k、p , the thickness Z of each layer k, p k、p , and the total thickness h of the multilayer material.

[0063] First, using the input information, the stress σ of each layer k and p is calculated. k、p x、y Then, the calculated stress σ of each layer k and p is calculated. k、p x、y The stacking angle θ of each layer k and p k、p Applying the principal direction stress [σ] of each layer k, p k、p 1、2 Also, the strength in the principal stress direction of the undetermined layer p [F] p is applied arbitrarily.

[0068] In the second method, the steps from the step a) of calculating the stress of each layer k, p to the step d) of calculating the safety factor of each layer k, p are repeated n times, and the value calculated in the i-th cycle is reflected in the input value to perform the i+1-th cycle.

[0069] In the third method, the steps of calculating the stress of each layer k, p (step a) through calculating the safety factor of each layer k, p (step d) are repeated, and the value calculated in the i-th cycle is reflected as an input value to perform the i+1-th cycle. If the strength of the multilayer material defined by comparing the value calculated in the i-th cycle with the value calculated in the i+1-th cycle does not increase any further, the value calculated in the i-th cycle is defined as the strength of the multilayer material. Here, i is an integer between 1 and n-1, and n is the number of layers k, p that make up the multilayer material. For each cycle, the calculated safety factor S of each layer k, p is calculated. k、p f The minimum value (S k、p f ) min The strength value of the multilayer material in the cycle is calculated as follows:

[0072] Conversely, if the value defined as the strength value of the multi-layer material [Number] i x、y does not meet the preset ULF (Ultimate Laminate Failure) criterion, the elastic modulus of the broken layer determined in that cycle will be adjusted and recalculated. As a specific example, a coefficient r will be applied to adjust the elastic modulus of the broken layer. For example, when r = 0, it is assumed that the broken layer in that cycle loses its stress sharing ability in that direction in the next loading cycle. When 0 < r < 1, it is assumed that the broken layer in that cycle partially loses its stress sharing ability in the next loading cycle. At the same time, the strength of the broken layer is changed to infinity and adjusted so that no breakage occurs in the same layer in the next loading cycle.

[0073] In another embodiment, when one or more of the elastic modulus E k、p , Poisson's ratio υ k、p , shear modulus G k、p , thickness Z k、p , stacking angle θ k、p , and the total thickness h of the multi-layer material of each layer k, p are input, the step (step a) of calculating the stress of each layer k, p can be performed as follows.

[0074] First, the information input includes the elastic modulus E in the machine direction (MD) 1 and the transverse direction (TD) 2 of each layer k, p k、p 1、2 , the Poisson's ratio υ in the machine direction 1 and the transverse direction 2 of each layer k, p k、p 1、2 , the shear modulus G in the machine direction 1 and the transverse direction 2 of each layer k, p K、P ​1、2 , the angle θ of each layer's machine direction 1 relative to the x direction of the multilayer material k、p , the thickness Z of each layer k, p k、p , and the total thickness h of the multilayer material.

[0075] The above elastic modulus E k、p 1、2 , Poisson's ratio υ k、p 1、2 , Shear modulus G k、p 1、2 The stiffness matrix [Q] of each layer k and p in the machine direction 1 and transverse direction 2 is calculated using k、p 1、2 Calculate the stiffness matrix [Q] of each layer k and p in the machine direction 1 and transverse axis 2. k、p 1、2 Inverse matrix (compliance matrix) [S] k、p 1、2 Set the above stiffness matrix [Q] k、p 1、2 The stacking angle θ of each layer k and p k、p Reflecting the stiffness matrix [Q] of each layer k, p k、p x、y and set the thickness Z of each layer k and p. k、p The stiffness matrix of the multi-layer material [A] is calculated using the information transmitted and the re-set stiffness matrix value. x、y , [B] x、y , [D] x、y Then, calculate the stiffness matrix [A] of the multilayer material. x、y , [B] x、y , [D] x、y Inverse matrix (compliance matrix) for [a] x、y , [b] x、y , [c] x、y , [d] x、y Set.

[0076] Next, the mid-plane strain and curvature are calculated using the inverse matrix for any force / F and moment / M, and the calculated mid-plane strain and curvature are used to calculate the thickness Z of each layer k and p. k、p The information is used to calculate the strain of each layer k and p.

[0077] Specifically, any force / F and moment / M are assumed to be virtual external forces, and can be defined using the total thickness value to virtually apply a unit normal stress to a multilayer material.

[0134] (Example 3) When comparing the results of the i-th loading cycle with the results of the (i+1)-th loading cycle, if the intensity does not increase, the intensity selected in the i-th loading cycle is selected as the final intensity.

In this case, the coefficient r will be applied to adjust the elastic modulus of the fracture layer. For example, when r = 0, it is assumed that the stress sharing ability of the fracture layer in the cycle in the relevant direction is lost in the next loading cycle, and when 0 < r < 1, it is assumed that the stress sharing ability of the fracture layer in the cycle is partially lost in the next loading cycle.
