Abstract: | A Representative Volume Cell (RVC) chosen to epitomize the entire three dimensional four-directional braided composites is
investigated to evaluate the mechanical behavior of the material by computational micromechanics. In addition to including
several damage modes of braid yarn and matrix within the braided composites, the numerical model also takes into account interface
damage mode by using a Cohesive Zone Model (CZM). A parametrical study is conducted to evaluate the influence of interface
properties on the macro stress-strain curve and the interaction of different failure modes of the braided composites under
uniaxial tensile loading. The interface damage evolution of the braided composites with large braid angle is also provided
further. Preliminary results indicate that the interface damage, which is one of the key factors to cause the nonlinearity
of the stress-strain relationship, can decrease the elastic modulus but not obviously control the ultimate strength of the
braided composites with large braid angle. |
