Abstract
The existing fast concurrency algorithms are difficult to predict the dynamic mechanical performance of three-dimensional (3D) braided composites from different scales. A modified Finite Element Method Cluster Analysis (FCA) method is employed to address this challenge. The modified FCA method is consisted of an offline and an online stage. In the offline stage, the high-fidelity Representative Unit Cell (RUC) is compressed to form a cluster-based RUC via the k-means method. Additionally, the cluster interaction matrix is calculated. In the online stage, the cluster interaction matrix is updated according to the strain rate levels for predicting the stress–strain curves for the RUC. Based upon the comparison with the data obtained from the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) experiments, it is found that the modified FCA method can accurately predict the stress–strain curves under different strain rates for RUCs. Additionally, the modified FCA method provides a great improvement on computing efficiency when predicting the dynamic behavior of 3D braided composites.
