Abstract:Recent advancements have led to new polyacrylonitrile carbon fiber precursors which reduce production costs, yet lead to bean-shaped cross-sections. While these bean-shaped fibers have comparable stiffness and ultimate strength values to typical carbon fibers, their unique morphology results in varying in-plane orientations and different microstructural stress distributions under loading, which are not well understood and can limit failure strength under complex loading scenarios. Therefore, this work used fin… Show more

A novel image‐driven deep learning approach embedded with model‐data‐knowledge information can directly predict the full field stress distribution and mechanical properties of composites solely based on initial scanning geometry images. The fiber spatial distribution and morphological features are identified by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) initially. An effective random fiber generation algorithm is further utilized to generate images database comprising equivalent geometric models of various microstructures. Subsequently, the geometry model images database is analyzed by fast Fourier transform (FFT) to produce the database including the elastic modulus parameters and full field stress distributions of composites with distinct microstructures. Finally, an innovative image‐learning comprehensive paradigm uniting convolutional neural networks and convolutional autoencoders is elaborated systematically to learn the inherent laws of geometry images and field images. The results show that the proposed method have capacity to effectively and accurately predict the elastic modulus and full field stress distributions combined with error analysis even for stochastic boundary composites. The proposed methodology is a symbiosis of cutting‐edge image learning and non‐destructive testing techniques for composites, which can directly use the local non‐destructive or scanning images of composite structural components to quickly obtain field information and further predict damage evolution online.Highlights
