Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Computational Mechanics

Background:

  • Fuzz buttons possess complex porous architectures with intricate wire contact interactions.
  • Conventional homogenized models fail to capture the detailed mechanics governing fuzz button compressive behavior, including wire bending and plastic deformation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Validation against quasi-static compression experiments at various compressive strains.

    • Main Results:

    • The model accurately predicted peak forces with low relative errors (2.12% to 6.81%) across different strains.
    • High coefficients of determination (0.970 to 0.984) indicate excellent agreement between predicted and experimental force-displacement curves.
    • The model successfully reproduced nonlinear loading-unloading responses and hysteretic energy dissipation.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed process-informed finite element model provides a robust tool for predicting fuzz button compressive behavior.
    • This approach enables detailed investigation into the mesoscopic mechanics of complex, interwoven metallic wire structures.
    • The findings advance the understanding and design of materials utilizing fuzz button architectures.
