Probabilistic approach to the mechanics of unidirectional composites with heterogeneous reinforcement
Abstract:
The aim of the presentation is to introduce a multi-scale mechanical–probabilistic modeling framework for the simulation unidirectional composites with heterogeneous reinforcement subjected to tensile loading. Considering the highly random nature of geometry, bond and failure of the reinforcing micro-fibers, the probabilistic approach involving model parameters as random variables is appropriate for an accurate simulation of the composite mechanics. The composite response is thoroughly examined from the view point of engineering design, i.e. serviceability limit state as well as ultimate limit state are considered.
