“…FEA methods have been broadly utilized as numerical tools for analyzing and anticipating the mechanical properties and performance of engineering materials involving CFRPCs. There are many sectors that benefit from composite material simulation, such as the aerospace, aeronautics, energy, automotive, civil, sports, and even electronics sectors [59,[62][63][64][65][66]. This is because FEA is a great method to prove designs before an objective prototype of the CFRPC is fabricated.…”

This review thoroughly investigates the mechanical recycling of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites (CFRPCs), a critical area for sustainable material management. With CFRPC widely used in high-performance areas like aerospace, transportation, and energy, developing effective recycling methods is essential for tackling environmental and economic issues. Mechanical recycling stands out for its low energy consumption and minimal environmental impact. This paper reviews current mechanical recycling techniques, highlighting their benefits in terms of energy efficiency and material recovery, but also points out their challenges, such as the degradation of mechanical properties due to fiber damage and difficulties in achieving strong interfacial adhesion in recycled composites. A novel part of this review is the use of finite element analysis (FEA) to predict the behavior of recycled CFRPCs, showing the potential of recycled fibers to preserve structural integrity and performance. This review also emphasizes the need for more research to develop standardized mechanical recycling protocols for CFRPCs that enhance material properties, optimize recycling processes, and assess environmental impacts thoroughly. By combining experimental and numerical studies, this review identifies knowledge gaps and suggests future research directions. It aims to advance the development of sustainable, efficient, and economically viable CFRPC recycling methods. The insights from this review could significantly benefit the circular economy by reducing waste and enabling the reuse of valuable carbon fibers in new composite materials.

“…[23][24][25][26][27][28][29] C/SiC composites are mainly processed by polymer infiltration and pyrolysis (PIP), hot press sintering, reactive melt infiltration, and chemical vapor infiltration (CVI). [30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] Among them, the PIP process has three significant advantages. 1) The compositional structure can be easily designed.…”

The specific effects on the evolution of microstructure, components and mechanical properties of the three‐dimensional braided C/SiC composites under different‐time electron irradiation environment tests were analyzed and discussed to elaborate the corresponding corrosion damage mechanism. The damage to the C/SiC composites was intensified by the continuous electron irradiation, the areas of surface bulges and cracks were significantly enlarged, and the surface roughness increased. The density of white dots on the surface of the specimen increased as the electron irradiation time was prolonged, while the size did not change significantly, and the oxygen content on the surface of the specimen increased to some extent. With the prolongation of electron irradiation time, the decrease of bending strength of C/SiC composites increased, but did not level off after a certain degree, probably because of the existence of certain pores on the surface layer of the C/SiC composite. With the increase of electron radiation time, the crack defects on the surface layer of the C/SiC composite increased, and the electron radiation further damaged the internal matrix and reinforcing fibers in the C/SiC composite, thus the mechanical properties declined continuously and seriously after the radiation exceeded 1 h.This article is protected by copyright.

“…The finite element method (FEM) is a general method to study the mechanical behavior of woven composites. [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] For example, a multiscale failure simulation of 3D braided composite considering the effects of distributed voids was carried out by Pineda et al, 15 which was in good agreement with the uniaxial experimental data, and the effects of manufacturing induced voids and cracks are evaluated. Zhang et al 17 used a progressive damage model 22 to investigate the thermal residual stress evolution in the cooling and heating processes of C/SiC plain woven composites, which revealed the effects of thermal residual stress on the tensile properties and progressive damage process of the C/SiC composites.…”

Due to the effects of manufacturing process, there are lots of distributed voids in the interior area of three‐dimensional (3D) woven C/SiC composites, leading to the difficulties in predictions of damage evolution and ultimate strength. In this work, the mesoscale geometry of 3D woven C/SiC composites is reconstructed based on the high‐resolution CT scanning, considering the yarn path, yarn profile, and void content. The CT‐based reconstructed model agrees well with the experimental observations. Then, the constitutive laws of mesoscale constituents and macroscale structure are established and implemented numerically by the user‐defined material subroutine UMAT. Finally, the established constitutive laws are applied for the reconstructed model, and the mesoscale and macroscale nonlinear progressive damage behavior of 3D woven C/SiC composite structures are predicted using the hierarchical multiscale method, which are also validated by the experiments. The established CT‐based multiscale computational scheme would be a potential tool for performance evaluation and design of composites.
