Résumé

Predicting the residual life of an in-service composite structure remains a major challenge in today's industry. This is mainly due to the non-homogeneous nature of these materials. In particular, the damage evolution mechanisms, as they appear on a relatively small scale compared to the structure's scale, plus the brittle aspect of the failure. Current solutions to diagnose damage patterns in a composite structure are mainly carried out experimentally with Non Destructive Testing [1], using either active or passive NDT. However, employing these techniques, we are not able to describe neither the overall state of the structure and its degradation, nor its remaining lifetime. To overcome these difficulties, we propose a damage prediction approach via the use of digital twinning, where a numerical model will progressively assimilate data and provide damage states as time advances. Finite Element models, such as FE 2 , could be utilized to outline the evolution of damage within composite materials and to describe their behavior on multiple scales. However, due to its extreme computational cost, many alternative-FE²-based techniques are put forward to remodel the structures. One known approach is the process of meta-modeling, where we construct an homogeneous constitutive model at the mesoscale, which implicitly embeds the FE² constitutive generality and improves it. In this work, we will present the homogenized mesoscopic constitutive model based on an improved FE 2 model [2,3] and its validation. Thus, we intend to predict the residual lifetime of a Composite Pressure Vessel using data assimilation. The state estimation method will be the Ensemble Kalman filter [4] where the determined model will be merged with external information, namely acoustic hit measurements to model the pressurized tank during its service, and will manage to assimilate data coming from sensors placed on the structure to construct sequential damage states with an optimal computational cost.
