Abstract:
Representative volume element with random distribution pattern has been built and applied to study and analyze the macro mechanical properties of the carbon black filled rubber composites by the micromechanical finite element method. Numerical simulations for the uniaxial compression case have been made by two-dimensional plane strain model. The periodic boundary conditions are imposed on each representative volume element in order to ensure the compatibility of the deformation field. The dependence of the macroscopic stress-strain behavior and the effective elastic modulus of the composites, on particle distribution pattern, particle size, particle stiffness and particle volume fraction has been investigated and discussed. It is shown that the stiffness of the composite is increased considerably with the introduction of carbon black filler particles, and for the filler content of 0.2513, the effective elastic modulus of the composite is more than double the initial modulus of rubber. It is also shown that the effective elastic modulus of the composite is increased with the increase of the particle volume fraction.
