3D numerical simulation for the elastic properties of random fiber composites with a wide range of fiber aspect ratios

Homogenization of transverse elastic properties of Cf/Mg composites at an elevated temperature and containing a small fraction of liquid phase

“…Thus a quantitative measure of the departure from isotropy (DFI) D has been determined for each RVE using the methodology outlined in Refs. [31,32], which is expressed as…”

Quantitative characterization of the fiber orientation variation in the Csf/Mg composites

“…It has sustained a vigorous scientific and technological interest in the area of their effective mechanical properties [3,[5][6][7], which not only depend on the fiber volume fraction [8][9][10] and the interfacial adhesion between the fiber and matrix, besides the mechanical properties of the fibers and matrix [7,[11][12][13][14], but the fiber orientation [15,16]. Therefore, it is important to investigate the fiber orientation in the Csf/Mg composites.…”

“…As a set of the typical advanced materials, short fibers reinforced composites have the huge potential applications in the automotive, aviation, aerospace, national defense industries and sports market, etc., [1][2][3][4], because of their excellent mechanical and physical properties. It has sustained a vigorous scientific and technological interest in the area of their effective mechanical properties [3,[5][6][7], which not only depend on the fiber volume fraction [8][9][10] and the interfacial adhesion between the fiber and matrix, besides the mechanical properties of the fibers and matrix [7,[11][12][13][14], but the fiber orientation [15,16].…”

Effects of Nonuniform Fiber Geometries on the Microstructural Fracture Behavior of Ceramic Matrix Composites

“…In addition to the 2D RVE models for unidirectionally continuous fiber reinforced composites, the RVE modeling approach is also applied to construct 3D models having reinforcements of various configurations. e random sequential adsorption (RSA) algorithm has also been applied to generate 3D RVE models with various types of reinforcements such as short/long fibers and ellipsoidal inclusions [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. Pathan et al [28] started from the hardcore model but utilized an optimization technique to remove fiber jamming.…”
