Shrnutí:Low volume fraction (~ 3%) chopped fiber reinforced resin matrix composites have both structural toughness and strength. In this work, bisphenol F epoxy resin was used as the matrix, which has low viscosity and high strength, so it is not easy to make fiber agglomeration. The aim of this study is to explore the size effect and the response of directional modulus to the dispersion angle in the homogenization process with low volume fraction (~ 1.24%) chopped fiber reinforced resin based RVE structure. In this work, a novel mesoscale chopped fiber filled resin matrix random field algorithm named spatial direction sensitive Hotelling expansion (SDSHE) is proposed to study the change of composite properties caused by the random distribution of chopped carbon fiber (CCF) unit cells (UCs) in the representative volume element (RVE) structure. Meanwhile, several influencing factors to the size effect in these RVEs structure are also studied. A post-processing scheme of subdomain in RVE structure based on Gauss theorem is proposed for the first time. Namely, the volume integral of the continuously differentiable vector field (displacement, force, et al.) in the subdomain calculated by finite element method is extracted, which is used to calculate the average strain and stress in three-dimensional structure. The results shows that the SDHSE algorithm matches well with low volume fraction chopped carbon fiber reinforced composites, and based on the generated RVEs, the decay length t is 0-21 μm, the average directive modulus also appear respective sensitivities with rotation angles.
