Abstract
This study presents a multiscale numerical framework designed to predict the nonlinear constitutive behavior of metal-composite interfaces in titanium-graphite fiber metal laminates. Molecular-level property predictions derived in a separate analysis are used to parameterize a finite element model of the interface by means of a traction-separation constitutive law. Additional continuum-level energy dissipation and progressive failure phenomena are implemented into commercial finite element software through a user-defined material subroutine. Results obtained from this multiscale interface model are compared against experimental measurements of titanium-graphite fiber metal laminates in a short-beam shear loading configuration. The model predictive accuracy and its application to other bonded metal-composite systems are subsequently discussed.
