| Abstract | ||
| Understanding and characterizing the tensile behavior of short fiber reinforced polymer composites (SFRPCs) under high temperature environments and dynamic loadings is of great significance for their wide application. In this work, a temperature and strain rate dependent tensile strength model is developed, based on the modified rule of mixture and the Force-Heat Equivalence Energy Density Principle. The combined effects of component properties, fiber length, fiber orientation, residual thermal stress, temperature and strain rate are taken into account. The proposed model is proved to be efficient in predicting the tensile strength of SFRPCs under a wide range of temperatures and strain rates, through the comparison between the experimental data and model predictions. Furthermore, based on the present model, the influencing factors analysis of tensile strength of SFRPCs and its evolution with temperature and strain rate is investigated and discussed. This work provides a solid theoretical basis for the design, optimization and tensile property prediction of SFRPCs under extreme conditions. | ||
