A new decohesion element with the capability of dealing crack propagation under mixed-mode loading is proposed and demonstrated. The used at interface between solid finite elements to model initiation non-self-similar growth delaminations in composite materials. single relative displacement-based damage parameter applied a softening law track state prevent restoration cohesive during unloading. three-parameter Benzeggagh-Kenane mode interaction criterion predict delamination propagation. To...
A three-dimensional finite element model is developed to predict damage progression and strength of mechanically fastened joints in carbon fibre-reinforced plastics that fail the bearing, tension shear-out modes. The based on a model, failure criterion constitutive equation takes into account effects material elastic properties. This accomplished using internal state variables are functions type damage. formulation used together with global ultimate joint. Experimental results concerning...
A new set of six phenomenological failure criteria for fiber-reinforced polymer laminates denoted LaRC03 is described. These can predict matrix and fiber accurately, without the curve-fitting parameters. For under transverse compression, angle fracture plane solved by maximizing Mohr-Coulomb effective stresses. criterion kinking obtained calculating misalignment load applying in coordinate frame misalignment. Fracture mechanics models cracks are used to develop a tension calculate associated...
This paper presents a pressure-dependent three-dimensional constitutive law to predict failure for laminated composites. The nonlinear response in shear and the transverse through-the-thickness directions, which is measured experimentally, incorporated directly into model. In addition, secant stiffnesses are dependent on state of hydrostatic pressure general strain. criteria distinguish between matrix failure, fibre kinking tensile failure. In-situ strengths used Propagation takes...
