A Possibility for Quantitative Detection of Mechanically-Induced Invisible Damage by Thermal Property Measurement via Entropy Generation for a Polymer Material

Abstract: Entropy generation from a mechanical and thermal perspective are quantitatively compared via molecular dynamic (MD) simulations and mechanical and thermal experiments. The entropy generation values regarding mechanical tensile loading—which causes invisible damage—of the Polyamide 6 (PA6) material are discussed in this study. The entropy values measured mechanically and thermally in the MD simulation were similar. To verify this consistency, mechanical and thermal experiments for measuring entropy generation w… Show more

“…We focus on the degradation of mechanical properties, entropy generation, and void content inside the system. Entropy is expected to serve as a physical quantity for quantitatively measuring the degradation of materials, such as the difficult-to-measure bond dissociation and void content in experiments [51][52][53][54]. Therefore, verifying the correlation between entropy and bond dissociation or void content is highly significant for assessing the remaining life of CFRP.…”

“…This study investigates the time evolutions of covalent bond dissociation and fracture behavior of a thermosetting polymer based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, which is essential for elucidating microscopic damage mechanisms of matrix crack and transverse crack in CFRPs. MD simulation has been applied to polymers [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], reinforcements [ 11 , 12 ], and their composites [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ], which have quantitatively reproduced thermomechanical properties near equilibrium state such as density, Young’s modulus, and glass transition temperature. Characteristics in the higher-strain region, where covalent bond dissociation is involved, remain challenging to simulate.…”

“…Additionally, the fatigue life estimation of CFRP was assessed by considering both confidence levels and reliability. Koyanagi et al [36][37][38][39][40] recently formulated a computational approach that integrates entropy damage to analyze the failure mechanism of a viscoelastic matrix and CFRP cross-ply laminates.…”
