The effects of interphase parameters on transverse elastic properties of Carbon–Carbon composites based on FE model

A modified random fiber removal algorithm is proposed to numerically study transverse elastic properties of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced pyrolytic carbon (C/C) composites. This method can efficiently generate the Representative Volume Element (RVE) of composites with random distribution fibers. On the basis of the numerical homogenization strategy, the effect of interphase between carbon fiber and pyrolytic carbon on the mechanical...
