Dynamic tensile behavior of fiber reinforced materials based on fiber layering modeling

Abstract

Among the failure forms of fiber reinforced materials, interface failure caused by fiber debonding is the most common but complex failure mode. This research proposed a fiber layering modeling method based on the different mechanical properties of the outer and inner parts of fiber yarn, then investigated the mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced materials under dynamic loads with different loading speeds. Two pullout models were established, considering the layering feature of fiber caused by the matrix penetration. The simulated results were compared with the existing experimental data to determine reliable parameters values of the fiber-matrix interface. Based on the values, another pullout model and tensile model were built. Distribution and development of stress in the loading process were discussed. Results show that fiber modeling with inner and outer parts, as well as the cohesive property with reliable parameters, could effectively represent the interface characteristics of fiber reinforced materials under dynamic load.
