Prediction of Mechanical Properties of Woven Fabric Flame-Retardant Composites Via Multi-Scale Computation
This paper presents an integrated modelling approach for the post-thermal exposure flexural behaviour of woven glass fibre-reinforced (WGFR) epoxy composites with/without flame retardant additives (FRs) at both material and structural levels.The unit cell-based micromesoscopic and meso-macroscopic mechanical models have been shown to accurately predict the mechanical behaviour of WGFR epoxy composites at the material level.The post-fire (e.g., composites thermally damaged by exposure to one-sided radiant heating) flexural behaviours of WGFR epoxy composites were numerically modelled using finite element analyses.The predicted residual flexural stiffness for WGFR epoxy composites exposed to different transient radiant heating conditions are compared with experimentally-measured post-fire flexural data.Good agreement between predicted and experimental data demonstrates the accuracy of the integrated numerical model in simulating the post-fire flexural bending of WGFR epoxy composites.
