A novel synergistic multi-scale modeling framework with a coupling of micro- and meso-scale is proposed to predict damage behaviors of 2D-triaxially braided composite (2DTBC). Based on the Bridge model, the internal stress and micro damage of constituent materials are respectively coupled with the stress and damage of tow. The initial effective elastic properties of tow (IEEP) used as the predefined data are estimated by micro-mechanics models. Due to in-situ effects, stress concentration factor (SCF) is considered in the micro matrix, exhibiting progressive damage accumulation. Comparisons of IEEP and strengths between the Bridge and Chamis’ theory are conducted to validate the values of IEEP and SCF. Based on the representative volume element (RVE), the macro properties and damage modes of 2DTBC are predicted to be consistent with available experiments and meso-scale simulation. Both axial and transverse damage mechanisms of 2DTBC under tensile or compressive load are revealed. Micro fiber and matrix damage accumulations have significant effects on the meso-scale axial and transverse damage of tows due to multi-scale coupling effects. Different from existing meso-/multi-scale models, the proposed multi-scale model can capture a crucial phenomenon that the transverse damage of tow is vulnerable to micro fiber fracture. The proposed multi-scale framework provides a robust tool for future systematic studies on constituent materials level to larger-scale aeronautical materials.

Abstract A deterministic application θ:ℝ2→ℝ2 deforms bijectively and regularly the plane and allows the construction of a deformed random field X∘θ:ℝ2→ℝ from a regular, stationary, and isotropic random field X:ℝ2→ℝ. The deformed field X∘θ is, in general, not isotropic (and not even stationary), however, we provide an explicit characterization of the deformations θ that preserve the isotropy. Further assuming that X is Gaussian, we introduce a weak form of isotropy of the field X∘θ, defined by an invariance property of the mean Euler characteristic of some of its excursion sets. We prove that deformed fields satisfying this property are strictly isotropic. In addition, we are able to identify θ, assuming that the mean Euler characteristic of excursion sets of X∘θ over some basic domain is known.

Abstract We consider a continuous, infinitely divisible random field in ℝd, d = 1, 2, 3, given as an integral of a kernel function with respect to a Lévy basis with convolution equivalent Lévy measure. For a large class of such random fields, we compute the asymptotic probability that the excursion set at level x contains some rotation of an object with fixed radius as x → ∞. Our main result is that the asymptotic probability is equivalent to the right tail of the underlying Lévy measure.
