Abstract
The particle reinforcement and related effect on fracture damage mechanical properties of polymers have been studied in this paper. Based on the uniaxial tensile test result of SiO2 particle reinforced polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) composites, the parameters of macro elastic-plastic finite element model and micro particle reinforced model are obtained. The effects of boundary conditions, shape and size of damage notch on fracture damage mechanical properties of PVDF composites are studied from macroscopic view. The uniaxial tensile mechanical properties and elastic modulus are increased with notch angle (0°, 30°, 60°, 120°). The damage analysis of the micro model shows that the mechanical properties of SiO2/PVDF composites are best when the content of SiO2 is 6%. Debonding between particles and matrix indicates have great effect on crack propagation. The micro-macro finite element model is effective tool to study the damage mechanical properties of particle reinforced polymers.
