AbstractThe objective of this paper is to study the location of the shear damage to the fiber matrix interface of a hybrid composite material by using the nonlinear acoustic technique, which is commonly described by the addition of a non-linear term in Hooke’s law. The genetic simulation is based on the probabilistic Weibull model including non-linear parameter β. The results obtained show good agreement between the numerical simulation and the actual behavior of two hybrid composite materials: alfa-carbon/Epoxy and glass-carbon/ Epoxy. In addition the results are similar to those obtained by the analytical model, which based on the Cox and Weibull formalism. The extended study for nanocomposite materials is interesting in the future.

A two-scale approach for numerical determination of composite material constants using a finite element model is developed. A representative volume element is numerically generated using a modified sequential adsorption algorithm. To determine the strength of the composite material, progressive material degradation models are adopted for the matrix, fiber and the fiber/matrix interface. The epoxy resin is modeled with a modified von Mises criterion in which the effect of hydrostatic stress on yield is accounted for. The resin’s elastic constants degrade with increasing loading application. The glass fiber is modeled as an isotropic material whose failure is governed by the maximum strain criterion. A traction-separation type cohesive zone model is applied at the fiber/matrix interface. Validation of the presented model is achieved by comparing numerical simulations with experimental data. The effective material constants that have been homogenized by the numerical test approach can be applied for future structural analysis.
