(Finite Element Simulation of Tensile Behaviors in the Elastic Region For PP/nano-TiO2 Composites Abstract：/nano-TiO2 composites were prepared by the melt intercalation molding. Based on the assumption of continuum mechanics model for materials, a finite element analysis model for the composites was constructed using ANSYS 11.0 software. In the stage of deformation (pre-yield regime) the response mechanism of the stress and the strain for composites was investigated, and the von mises stress field of PP/nano-TiO2 composites has also been simulated. It was found that the simulation results are Consistent with the testing results at low volume strain level. Comparing with the 3D model, the results simulated using the 2D model are accurate with the experimental results. If the volume fraction of particles is less, other particles have little influence on the local stress field of a certain particle, no obvious overlap or cross of the stress field could be found between two neighboring particles. While applying different loads, the stress jumps to maximum stress value in the interaction region of the two phase firstly, and then it occurs that the particles debond with the matrix.

At the beginning, the key aim is either to be used as a major reinforcing and filling system, for example in rubber using carbon black and silica, or to cheapen the compounds using silicate, carbonate, sulfate and other materials, nowadays like nanotubes, nanoparticles and layered silicates are more widely used to improve the tensile and impact properties of the polymer composites [1-4]. Great focus will be laid on this research in the future. Although the former works has provided many chances for the designing of high properties composites, research that lays on prediction of a multi-phase composites using a finite element me
