Abstract
Multiscale modeling has garnered attention as an analytical method for investigating the mechanical behavior of composite materials. This paper introduces a comprehensive multiscale modeling approach developed by the authors’ group, which enables comprehensive analysis of the material properties from the atomic-scale reaction characteristics to laminate-scale fracture analysis; an overview of relevant literature is included as well. First, the methods of analysis at the atomic/molecular, microscopic, and mesoscopic scales are separately explained. Finally, a multiscale modeling approach that integrates these models and bridges the gaps between the scales is presented. The multiscale model is used to predict the fracture behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced composites based on the mechanical properties of epoxy resin.
