Thermoviscoelastic modelling of high strain thin-ply composites by means of multiscale plate and beam model
2020
High strain thin-ply (HS-TPC) technology is being increasingly adopted for high-performanceaerospace applications. Albeit many of these structures such as deployable booms can bemodeled as one-dimensional beam problems, there is a lack of themoviscoelastic beam mod-els to efficiently and accurately simulate HS-TPC. This work will use mechanics of struc-ture genome (MSG) to construct linear thermoviscoelastic beam models that can homogenizethree-dimensional heterogeneous materials made of constituents with time- and temperature-dependent behavior. The formulation derives the transient strain energy based on integralformulation for thermorheologically simple materials subject to finite temperature changeswith the restriction that the strain is small. A lenticular boom is used as a numerical exampleto verify the MSG-based linear thermoviscoelastic beam model against MSG-based shell/platemodel, which has already been validated against experimental data provided by NASA, anddirect numerical simulations performed in a finite element commercial package.
