Image-Based Peridynamic Modeling-Based Micro-CT for Failure Simulation of Composites.

By utilizing computed tomography (CT) technology, we can gain a comprehensive understanding of the specific details within the material. When combined with computational mechanics, this approach allows us to predict the structural response through numerical simulation, thereby avoiding the high experimental costs. In this study, the tensile cracking behavior of carbon-silicon carbide (C/SiC) composites is numerically simulated using the bond-based peridynamics model (BB-PD), which is based on geometric models derived from segmented images of three-dimensional (3D) CT data.
