基于FEM×FFT并发多尺度方法的复合材料非线性力学建模

On the FEM×FFT-based concurrent multiscale modelling of nonlinear composites

  • 摘要: 复合材料结构的宏观力学性能与其细观结构密切相关,并发多尺度方法能够建立宏观与细观响应之间的直接联系,具有较高的预测精度。然而,该方法需要在宏观结构模型的各积分点处反复求解细观模型,导致整体计算效率较低、计算成本较高。针对上述问题,本文基于快速傅里叶变换(Fast Fourier Transform,FFT)建立了一种FEM×FFT并发多尺度计算框架,在细观FFT均质化分析中引入修正离散格林算子提高局部应力求解精度。以单向硼纤维增强铝基复合材料为研究对象,构建细观代表性体积单元(Representative Volume Element, RVE),并采用体素网格对RVE计算域进行离散, 通过求解Lippmann-Schwinger方程实现FFT均质化分析,并进一步开展复合材料结构的并发多尺度数值模拟。细观RVE分析表明,FFT方法预测得到的宏观等效应力响应与有限元结果高度一致,相对误差小于7.4%,且细观应力分布与有限元结果基本吻合。与传统FEM×FVDAM多尺度方法相比,FEM×FFT在准确预测结构响应的同时,计算时间缩短约78%。内存的占用降低约93%。综上,FEM×FFT并发多尺度计算框架能够有效兼顾计算精度与计算效率,为复杂复合材料结构多尺度力学分析提供一种高效的数值方法。

     

    Abstract: The macroscopic mechanical properties of composite structures are closely related to their mesoscopic architectures. Concurrent multiscale methods establish a direct link between macroscopic structural responses and mesoscopic material behaviors, providing high prediction accuracy. However, these methods require repeated solutions of the mesoscopic model at each integration point of the macroscopic structure, resulting in high computational costs and limited efficiency. To address this issue, this study develops a FEM×FFT concurrent multiscale computational framework based on the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). A modified discrete Green operator is introduced into the mesoscopic FFT homogenization analysis to improve the accuracy of local stress field prediction. A unidirectional boron fiber-reinforced aluminum matrix composite is considered, and a mesoscopic representative volume element (RVE) is constructed and discretized using voxel-based grids. The FFT-based homogenization analysis is performed by solving the Lippmann–Schwinger equation, and the proposed framework is further applied to concurrent multiscale simulations of composite structures. The mesoscopic RVE results demonstrate that the macroscopic effective stress responses predicted by the FFT method agree well with those obtained from the finite element method, with a relative error below 7.4%. Furthermore, the predicted local stress distributions at the mesoscopic scale show excellent agreement with finite element results. Compared with the conventional FEM×FVDAM multiscale approach, the proposed FEM×FFT method accurately predicts the structural response, while reducing the computational time by approximately 78% and decreasing memory consumption by approximately 93%. In summary, the FEM×FFT concurrent multiscale framework provides an efficient and accurate approach for the multiscale mechanical analysis of complex composite structures.
