Figure 6
DFEM simulation for structure and mechanical analysis of the impact surface and impact region. (a) 3D schematic of our model following the complex microscale geometry of the impact surface and impact region. Color-coding corresponds to the different components. As shown in (b), the interlocking structural design of mineral particles and fiber bundles as well as the distribution mineral coated pore canals were fidelity retained in our model. Panels (c) and (d) correspond to the average von Mises stress distribution cloud diagrams of models with (c) mismatch and (d) uniform elastic modulus, respectively. The peak von Mises stress can be found in the bottom right corner of certain figures. |
