Abstract :
[en] In order to account for micro-structural geometrical and material properties in an accurate way, homogenization-based multiscale approaches have been widely developed. However, most of the approaches assume the existence of a statistically Representative Volume Element (RVE), which does not always exist for composite materials due to the existing micro-structural uncertainties, in particular when studying the onset of failure. In this work we develop a stochastic multi-scale approach for unidirectional composite materials in order to predict scatter at the structural behavior. First Stochastic Volume Elements (SVE) [1] are built from experimental measurements. Toward this end, statistical functions of the fibers features are extracted from SEM images to generate statistical functions of the micro-structure. The dependent variables are then represented using the copula framework, allowing generating micro-structures, which respect the statistical information, using a fiber additive process [2]. Probabilistic meso-scale stochastic behaviors are then extracted from direct numerical simulations of the generated SVEs, defining random fields of homogenized properties [3]. Finally, in order to provide an efficient way of generating meso-scale random fields, while keeping information, such as stress/strain fields, at the micro-scale during the resolution of macro-scale stochastic finite element, a probabilistic Mean-Field-Homogenization (MFH) method is developed. To this end, the phase parameters of the MFH are seen as random fields defined by inverse stochastic identification of the stochastic homogenized properties obtained through the stochastic direct simulations of the SVEs. As a result, non-deterministic macro-scale behaviors can be studied while having access to the micro-scale different phases stress-strain evolution, allowing to predict composite failure in a probabilistic way.
