Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

Under fatigue-loading, short-fiber reinforced thermoplastic materials typically show a progressive degradation of the stiffness tensor. The stiffness degradation prior to failure is of primary interest from an engineering perspective, as it determines when fatigue cracks nucleate. Efficient modeling of this fatigue stage allows the engineer to monitor the fatigue-process prior to failure and design criteria which ensure a safe application of the component under investigation. We propose a multiscale model for the stiffness degradation in thermoplastic materials based on resolving the fiber microstructure. For a start, we propose a specific fatigue-damage model for the matrix, and the degradation of the thermoplastic composite arises from a rigorous homogenization procedure. The fatigue-damage model for the matrix is rather special, as its convex nature precludes localization, permits a well-defined upscaling, and is thus well-adapted to model the phase of stable stiffness degradation under fatigue loading. We demonstrate the capabilities of the full-field model by comparing the predictions on fully resolved fiber microstructures to experimental data. Furthermore, we introduce an associated model-order reduction strategy to enable component-scale simulations of the local stiffness degradation under fatigue loading. With model-order reduction in mind and upon implicit discretization in time, we transform the minimization of the incremental potential into an equivalent mixed formulation, which combines two rather attractive features. More precisely, upon order reduction, this mixed formulation permits precomputing all necessary quantities in advance, yet, retains its well-posedness in the process. We study the characteristics of the model-order reduction technique, and demonstrate its capabilities on component scale. Compared to similar approaches, the proposed model leads to improvements in runtime by more than an order of magnitude.
