text: This paper investigates two modeling approaches for the simulation of the
deformation and decomposition behavior of preconsolidated rovings above the thermoplastic
matrix{\textquoteright} melting temperature. This is crucial for capturing the
local material structure after processes introducing highly localized deformation
such as mechanical joining processes between metal and fiber reinforced thermoplastics
(FRTP). A generic finite element (FE) model is developed, incorporating interfaces
discretized through either cohesive zone (CZ) elements or Coulomb friction-based
contacts. The material parameters for the FE elements are derived from the initial
stiffness of a statistical volume element (SVE) at micro scale modelled with an
Arbitrary-Lagrange-Eulerian method for three load cases. The CZ properties calculated
are based on the shear viscosity of the composite. The CZ and contact modelling
approaches are evaluated using three load cases of the SVE, comparing force-displacement
curves. Under simple loading conditions, such as normal pressure tension and bending,
both methods produce similar results; however, in complex load cases, the CZ approach
shows clear advantages in handling interface interactions and shows robust simulations.
The CZ approach thus presents a promising method for simulating roving decomposition
in FRTP-metal joining applications above the matrix{\textquoteright} melting temperature.
