Three-dimensional numerical simulation and cracking analysis of fiber-reinforced cement-based composites

Jun Huang and Peiyan Huang

Abstract

Three-dimensional graphic objects created by MATLAB are exported to the AUTOCAD program through the MATLAB handle functions. The imported SAT format files are used to produce the finite element mesh for MSC.PATRAN. Based on the Monte-Carlo random sample principle, the material heterogeneity of cement composites with randomly distributed fibers is described by the WEIBULL distribution function. In this paper, a concept called

Key Words

fiber-reinforced cement composites; stress-strain behavior; interfacial transition zone; finite element analysis (FEA); multi-scale modeling.
