Comparative analysis of methods for calculating the physico-mechanical characteristics of multi-layered composite materials

The paper presents a comparative analysis of methods and results calculating the physical mechanical characteristics single-layered multi-layered polymer composite materials (PCM). object study is which consists epoxy binder carbon fiber reinforcements. principle multiscale modelling applied to determine composite. Within framework this study, representative volume element (RVE), structure corresponds real materials, used. initial data for calculation in case are anisotropic fibers (carbon fabric) an isotropic binder, as well geometric model RVE. As result calculation, effective quasi-homogeneous material suitable numerical structures determined. A comparison determining using ANSYS Material Designer MSC Digimat software packages various size RVE carried out Workbench also used perform stress-strain conditions physico-mechanical composites.
