Abstract
Heterogenous material modeling is typically used in analysis of composite materials and microstructures. Heterogenous materials present difficulty in FEA (Finite Element Analysis) modeling due to irregularity of constituent’s shape. In this study, we demonstrate a method utilizing image processing and symbolic PDE (Partial Differential Equation) FEA to model heterogenous materials. We validated our results with ANSYS, a well-known FEA modeling tool. The stress distribution from our model agree well with result from ANSYS. The results show that the peaks of stress occur in the interface. The results suggest that the topology of the constituent may influence the stress accumulation.
