Abstract Scope |
ICME increasingly recognizes that processing conditions during manufacturing induce microstructural variations, which result in large scatters in the bulk composite properties. In order to quantify such variations and their effect on the bulk properties, it is critical to establish the Processing-Microstructure-Property relationship. The authors have previously successfully quantified the process-induced geometrical and physical variations in the composite microstructure with techniques such as statistical analysis (micro-CT scans of composite microstructure) and micro-Raman spectroscopy, respectively. Present work describes the development and working of a process modeling platform to virtually cure and test the artificially reconstructed laminates. Previously developed statistical metrics aid in the virtual reconstruction of Representative Volume Elements (RVEs) in a finite element framework. While accounting for the geometrical variations in the microstructure, the virtual cure analysis of said RVEs can successfully predict the in-situ matrix behavior. Virtual mechanical tests are performed to predict composite properties using progressive damage models. |
