Influence of representative volume element size on predicted elastic properties of polymer materials
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and micromechanical modeling are used to predict the bulk-level Young’s modulus of polycarbonate and polyimide polymer systems as a function of representative volume element (RVE) size and force field type. The bulk-level moduli are determined using the predicted moduli of individual finite-sized RVEs (microstates) using a simple averaging scheme and an energ...
متن کاملPrediction of elastic properties of heterogeneous materials with complex microstructures
The phase-field microelasticity (PFM) is adapted into a homogenization process to predict all the effective elastic constants of three-dimensional heterogeneous materials with complex microstructures. Comparison between the PFM approach and the Hashin–Shtrikman variational approach is also given. Using 3D images of two-phase heterogeneous media with regular and irregular microstructures, result...
متن کاملLinear elastic properties derivation from microstructures representative of transport parameters.
It is shown that three-dimensional periodic unit cells (3D PUC) representative of transport parameters involved in the description of long wavelength acoustic wave propagation and dissipation through real foam samples may also be used as a standpoint to estimate their macroscopic linear elastic properties. Application of the model yields quantitative agreement between numerical homogenization r...
متن کاملEffect of Carbon Nanotube Geometries on Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposite Via Nanoscale Representative Volume Element
Predicting the effective elastic properties of carbon nanotube-reinforced nanocomposites is of great interest to many structural designers and engineers for improving material and configuration design in recent years. In this paper, a finite element model of a CNT composite has been developed using the Representative volume element (RVE) to evaluate the effective material properties of nanocomp...
متن کاملElastic properties of model random three-dimensional open-cell solids
Most cellular solids are random materials, while practically all theoretical structure-property relations are tor periodic models. To generate theoretical results for random models the finite element method ( FEM) was used to study the elastic properties of open-cell solids. We have computed the density ( I J ) and microstructure dependence of the Young's modulus ( E ) and Poisson's ratio ( v )...
