Monte-Carlo Simulation on the Failure of Fiber in a Single Filament Composite

摘要

A Monte-Carlo method is used to simulate gradual fracture of fiber in a single filament composite with the increase of virtual stress. A simple computational algorithm is developed to judge where breaking point will happen in the composite and a probability model based on Weibull- distribution is designed to calculate the average fragment length by producing stable and uniform random number in (0, 1). Compared to the published experiment results, the simulating average fragment length is quite perfect.
