热固性树脂基复合材料流动压实过程建模方法研究

Research on modeling for the flow-compaction process of thermoset composites

  • 摘要: 针对热固性树脂基复合材料固化过程的孔隙演化问题,建立了描述复合材料流动压实过程仿真模型,用来预测复合材料固化过程的孔隙率变化。首先建立包含热-化学、纤维床压缩、孔隙压缩以及树脂束间流动子模型的多场耦合模型,用以准确描述流动压实过程复合材料内部的孔隙率变化。利用ABAQUS有限元分析软件的UMAT子程序,将上述子模型植入到软件中,并通过相应的实验孔隙率测量,验证仿真模型的有效性。研究还表明,L型复合材料构件圆角处由于剪切滑移能力不足,其孔隙率要高于平板区域位置。而在仿真模型中,纤维床刚度、粘度、层间摩擦系数和固化压力对孔隙率的变化起到重要作用。

     

    Abstract: Addressing the issue of porosity evolution during the curing process of thermoset composites, a simulation model has been developed to describe the flow-compaction behavior of the composites, aiming to predict changes in porosity throughout the curing process. Initially, a multi-field coupling model encompassing sub-models for thermo-chemical, fiber bed compression, pore compression, and percolation flow was established. This model accurately describes the changes in porosity within the composites during the flow-compaction process. The UMAT subroutine of the ABAQUS finite element analysis software was utilized to integrate these sub-models into the software. The validity of the simulation model was verified through corresponding experimental porosity measurements. The research further indicates that the porosity at the fillet of L-shaped composite components is higher than that in flat areas due to insufficient shear slip capacity. In the simulation model, the stiffness of the fiber bed, viscosity, inter-ply friction coefficient and curing pressure play important roles in the change of porosity.
