Abstract

Finite element method (FEM) is utilized in the development of products to realistically analyze and predict the mechanical behavior of materials in various fields. However, the approach based on the numerical analysis of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites, for which the fiber orientation and strain rate affect the mechanical properties, has proven to be challenging. The purpose of this study is to define and evaluate the mechanical properties of glass fiber reinforced plastic composites using the numerical analysis models of Digimat, a linear, nonlinear multi-scale modeling program for various composite materials such as polymers, rubber, metal, etc. In addition, the aim is to predict the behavior of realistic polymeric composites. In this regard, the tensile properties according to the fiber orientation and strain rate of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with short fiber weight fractions of 30wt% among various polymers were investigated using references. Information on the fiber orientation was calculated based on injection analysis using Moldflow software, and was utilized in the finite element model for tensile specimens via a mapping process. LS-Dyna, an explicit commercial finite element code, was used for coupled analysis using Digimat to study the tensile properties of composites according to the fiber orientation and strain rate of glass fibers. In addition, the drawbacks and advantages of LS-DYNA’s various anisotropic material models were compared and evaluated for the analysis of glass fiber reinforced plastic composites.

유한요소법(finite element method)은 다양한 분야에서 재료의 역학적 거동을 더욱더 현실적으로 해석하고 예측하는 방법 으로 다양한 분야의 제품 개발에 적용되고 있다. 하지만 섬유배향과 변형률 속도가 역학적 특성에 영향을 미치는 유리섬유 강화 플라스틱 복합재료에 관한 수치해석을 이용한 접근 방법은 현재까지 다소 어려움이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 고분자, 고 무, 금속 등과 같은 다양한 복합재료를 위한 선형, 비선형 다중스케일 재료 모델링 프로그램인 Digimat의 수치해석 재료 모 델을 활용하여 유리섬유 강화 플라스틱 복합재료의 역학적 특성을 정의하고 검증하는 것에 있다. 또한 이를 통해 좀더 현실 적으로 고분자 복합재료의 거동을 예측하고자 한다. 이를 위해 다양한 고분자 중 30wt%의 단섬유 질량 비율을 갖는 폴리부 틸렌 텔레프탈레이트(polybutylene terephthalate, PBT)의 섬유배향과 변형률 속도에 따른 인장 특성을 참고문헌을 통해 조 사하였다. 또한 Moldflow 프로그램을 사용한 사출해석을 통해 유리섬유 배향 정보를 계산하였으며 이를 매핑(mapping) 과 정을 통해 유한요소 인장 시편 모델에 전달하였다. 대표적인 유한요소 상용 프로그램 중 하나인 LS-DYNA는 유리섬유 배 향과 변형률 속도에 따른 복합재료의 인장 특성을 연구하기 위해 Digimat과의 연성해석(coupled analysis)에 활용되었다. 그 리고 유리섬유 강화 플라스틱 복합재료를 해석하기 위한 LS-DYNA의 다양한 비등방성(anisotropic) 재료 모델들의 장단점 을 서로 비교하고 평가하였다.
