Coarse-grained models for pure epoxy and agglomerated boehmite nanoparticle/epoxy nanocomposites with initial single-edged cracks are developed. An optimization assisted modified iterative Boltzmann inversion method is proposed to calibrate coarse-grained force fields. Furthermore, the coarse-grained force field of nanoparticles is obtained using the strain energy conservation between coarse-grained models and all-atom systems [1]. In the proposed model, the energy release rate is obtained from the load-displacement curve of specimens [2]. Due to the size of the agglomerated boehmite nanoparticles, the molecular dynamic approach is not able to capture the fracture properties of agglomerated boehmite nanoparticle/epoxy nanocomposite; therefore, the existence of a coarse-grained model is crucial. The applicability of the coarse-grained model to estimate the fracture properties of the polymer reinforced nanocomposites is evaluated using experimental data. It is shown that the fracture properties of the nanocomposites depend on the weight fraction and distribution of nanoparticles. The dependence of the critical energy release rate on the initial crack length is also studied.","PeriodicalId":392595,"journal":{"name":"VIII Conference on Mechanical Response of Composites","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114381924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

[1] enabled the automated identification of fibre breaks in unidirectional composites (Breite et al. [2]). It is now possible to investigate the correlation of microstructural parameters of the fibre trajectories with the formation of fibre breaks and clusters of fibre breaks. The dataset used in the present study is based on the fibre trajectories segmented from a volume of ~0.36 mm 3 , taken out from a flat sample, in-situ loaded under synchrotron radiation computed tomography to a tensile stress corresponding to 91% of the ultimate tensile stress. It consists of ~5000 fibres, ~9∙10 5 fibre segments of ~6.5 μm length and 92 fibre breaks. Statistical comparisons have been performed for the local fibre volume fraction, fitted sinusoidal parameters as measures for the local fibre waviness and the local in-plane and out-of-plane fibre angles measured in each of the fibre segments. The statistical methodology relies on repeated resampling from large population down to the size of the sparsely populated fibre breaks data. Insights were gained on differences between distributions of the microstructure parameters near broken fibres vs. un-broken fibres, fibre break sites vs. intact regions and single fibre break sites vs. clustered fibre break sites (Figure 1). In contrast to earlier work by Rosini et al. [3], the present work demonstrates a previously unknown link between the local disturbance of the alignment angles and the formation of fibre break clusters.

Additionally, 3D nondestructive evaluation methods (X-ray tomography, ultrasonic scans) are considered in order to assess and understand the damage mechanisms in such a material. The tests have been simulated using a 3D FEM with contacts, a continuum damage model for the intra-ply damage (fiber failure and matrix damage) [2] and delamination modeling using cohesive elements.

It is usual to distinguish between so-called “intralaminar” degradation mechanisms such as for example transverse cracks [1], and “interlaminar” mechanisms such as local or global delamination. One of the most difficult tasks is to accurately predict how these different mechanisms interact with each other. A well-known example is precisely the coupling between intra-and inter-laminar damage which significantly influences the mechanical response of laminates. These coupling mechanisms can be harmful (for example when transverse cracking accelerates degradation by local delamination of the interface) or beneficial (when transverse cracking activates new modes of interfacial dissipation, and in particular large-scale bridging mechanisms [2]). The objective of this presentation is to pave the way for a pragmatic and efficient modeling of these effects. For this, we first contribute to the enrichment of experimental knowledge on this point, by the systematic study of the evolution of the bridging of the interlaminar interface as a function of the density of intralaminar cracks. Original tests are developed, for which cross-ply composites are first pre-cracked under plane loading in order to introduce a pre-defined crack density. These sequences are then subjected to macroscopic delamination tests, in order to evaluate the effect of this pre-cracking on the interface tenacity. Secondly, a modeling approach is proposed, based on a new type of interface model [3].

The damage and fibre rotation due to kinking growth affects the transverse behaviour and vice-versa. The model shows efficiency considering the high complexity mech-anisms involved. For verification the model is tested against micro-mechanical FE simulations with multi-axial stress states such as σ 22 − σ 11 and τ 12 − σ 11 and against selected component tests.
