Abstract
Thermosetting polymers have many uses in numerous industries, including the building, automotive, aerospace, and marine sectors. They are frequently employed as adhesives or matrices in fibre-reinforced or particle-filled composites. Adhesives, repair, and rehabilitation of civil constructions are among the primary uses of particle-filled thermosets and thermoset-matrix composites in building and construction. Such applications necessitate novel strategies and dependable computational models that enable precise yet computationally effective structural or structural element prediction. This research will introduce a Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM-P) that can simulate the failure behaviour of particle-filled polymers utilized in civil engineering. When considering the particles’ size and distribution, LDPM-P may simulate the desired polymer composites at the particle scale. The phenomenological method serves as the foundation for constitutive relations. The suggested method aims to provide a trustworthy design for a large group of structural components, including rebar connections and adhesive anchors. The MARS software is used to incorporate the proposed model.
