Finite Element Analysis of Moisture Absorption and Aging Behaviors of CF/PPESK Composite at Different Temperatures by LI Yupeng, TONG Ye, LEI Mingkai

“…Polyarylethersulfoneketone (PPESK) composite materials can be used as high-temperature resistant coatings and wear-resistant self-lubricating materials， which are widely used in the protection of nuclear power equipment parts.To study the effect of temperature on the moisture absorption behavior of CF/PPESK composites， a two-dimensional composite model was established， and the moisture absorption behavior and moisture absorption stress distribution rules of CF/PPESK composites under 25 ℃and 100 ℃conditions were studied by ABAQUS.Based on the obtained moisture concentration field data， the moisture absorption stress field of CF/PPESK composites with changes in temperature and time was analyzed.Results showed that the moisture diffusion in CF/PPESK composites basically followed Fick’s diffusion law.The higher the temperature， the faster the moisture absorption equilibrium was reached， and the greater the moisture absorption stress.When longterm moisture absorption at high temperature caused the material to be saturated with moisture， the maximum stress reached 140.2 MPa， and the maximum moisture absorption stress occurred in the substrate area where the fiber arrangement spacing was the smallest.…”
