Abstract
A micromechanical model with realistic initial fiber misalignment (IFM) was developed to simulate the longitudinal compression behavior of unidirectional carbon fiber/aluminum composites. The matrix and fiber were modeled using ductile damage law and brittle fracture model, respectively. The interfacial properties were firstly determined by the single-fiber push-out and transverse tensile tests, and the cohesive zone model was adopted to capture the interfacial behavior. The calculated compressive response curve is in alignment with the experimental data. Compression failure can be attributed to fiber kinking, possibly triggered by the matrix shear damage. The increase of IFM angle makes the failure mode being transformed from fiber crushing to fiber kinking, along with a significant decrease in compressive strength. With the fiber content increasing, the compressive strength increases first and then decreases, while the compressive modulus increases monotonically. Increasing interfacial strength significantly improves the compressive strength, but this is limited by the matrix properties.
