Multi Scale Modeling

We describe a multi-scale modeling approach to model the rheology of soft matter, which can then be applied to simulate flow of viscous inorganic material in pipes and containers. Mesoscale methods, such as dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) are a key component of multi-scale modeling, as they bridge the gap between fundamental theory and continuum length scales. The paper describes a method for parameterizing DPD simulations for cements and inorganic sludges based on calculating a volume dependent cohesive energy interaction and compressive term from MD simulation with a generalized inorganic forcefield. By modifying the fluid properties through the interaction parameters one can simulate change of chemistry, such as pH or the introduction of chemicals to improve flow properties (super-plasticizers). Parameters obtained from mesoscale simulation can then be applied to simulate flow of soft matter inside pipes and containers using traditional CFD techniques. Two potential future applications in the nuclear industry are discussed in the areas of waste retrieval and encapsulation.

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.
