Outline:
• Residual Strength Modeling philosophy• Model implementation (CCLife code)• Development of Micromechanical Models• Incorporation in Finite Element Analysis (ANSYS)• Summary
Objectives in Lifetime Prediction Effort:
• To develop a life-prediction method for composites based on an understanding of the relevant damage processes
• To validate the method by comparing with existing experimental evidence

Remaining Strength Predictions:
• Track remaining strength during the time-dependent process
• Define a scalar failure function based upon tensor strength and stresses; use this failure function for calculations
• May include the effects of changing loading conditions
• May be directly validated experimentally, unlike Miner’s rule

Approach for variable loading with rupture and fatigue acting:
• Divide each step of loading into time increments
• Treat each increment as a stress rupture problem (constant applied stress and temperature)
• Reduce residual strength due to time dependent damage accumulation
• Refine number of intervals until residual strength converges
• Input next load level• Check for load reversal. If load
reversal, increment by 1/2 cycle and reduce residual strength due to fatigue damage accumulation
• Begin with matrix stiffness reduction as a function of time and stress level• Use a simple stress model (2-D, laminate level) to calculate failure function as
a function of time, stress, and temperature• Fit stress rupture data as a function of stress level and temperature• Use incremental approach previously presented to sum influence of changing
stresses (rupture influence)• Adaptively refine increments until residual strength converges to some
prescribed tolerance• Account for cyclical loading by counting reversals and reducing remaining
strength• Originated under EPM program

Validation with Oxide/Oxide System:
• Begin with fatigue tests at room temperature and stress-rupture tests at 1093°C on a Nextel 610 reinforced alumina-yttria composite
• Represent the changes in remaining strength due to these mechanisms with a residual-strength based model
• Create predictions based on the summation of damage due to the action of both mechanisms
• Verify predictions with fatigue tests at 1093°C
