Abstract:
In this study we developed a computational approach by implementing the damage models proposed by authors for simulating the damage evolution and mechanical properties of random short fiber composites according to the respective characteristics of the matrix, the reinforcement and the volume fraction. Material damage induced by fiber de-bonding is considered. A comparison between the different existing models of homogenization was performed to determine the model that best reflects the response of our study material. And furthermore a range of simulations was carried out to study the influence of various parameters of the composite for predicting the response of the material and damage evolution.

Key words:  Characteristics prediction, damage evolution, fibrous composites, homogenization, , ,
