MULTISCALE MODELING OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITES
Abstract
The analysis of process parameters of the 3D printing of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite will be modeled in this project. A multiscale framework is proposed based on the nano-, micro- and meso- scale couplings. Hence, the nanoscale model will be carried out via Molecular Dynamics (MD) for the matrix and a single carbon-fiber interaction analysis as a function of the temperature. At the microscale, a microdomain of CFRP will be considered incorporating the nanomechanics effects. Therefore, throughout the homogenization analysis, the effective stiffness properties will be directly used in the filament deposition at the mesoscale.
