This paper presents a novel method for generating 3D digital material twins from mu CT images. A new deep convolution neural network model is developed to efficiently identify and segment fiber yarns and defects in the images. The approach offers new insights into damage and failure analyses of ceramic-matrix composites.
This paper proposes a novel method for generating 3D digital material twins (DMTs) from mu CT images for woven ceramic-matrix composites. The key points to generating DMTs are the efficient and high-precision identification and segmentation of fiber yarns, matrix, and defects in mu CT images. Due to the low gray contrast among fiber yarns, traditional threshold segmentation methods cannot effectively obtain the corresponding woven structures. Therefore, a novel deep convolution neural network (DCNN) model with the U-Net architecture is developed to overcome these difficulties. Based on this approach, cross sections and centerlines of fiber yarns are identified and used to reconstruct their 3D architectures. Defects are introduced through the spatial mapping between their locations in mu CT images and the 3D meshes of the matrix. The DMTs of a C/SiC woven composite with quantitative matrix porosity defects are established, and a simulation of the composite under tension is presented. The DMTs approach provides new insights into damage and failure analyses of ceramic-matrix composites.
