Progressive Damage Simulation for a 3D-printed Curvilinear Continuous Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Based on Continuum Damage Mechanics

‌Progressive Damage Analysis of Laminated Composites using Continuum Damage Mechanics

In this paper, progressive damage and global failure of composite laminates under quasi-static, monotonic loading are investigated using 3D continuum damage mechanics. For this purpose, a finite element program has been developed using an eight-node 2D layered element including layer-wise plate theory. Damage analysis of a single orthotropic layer under various uniform in-plane and transverse l...

Damage Detection of Carbon Fiber-reinforced Concrete Under Bending Test

Progressive Damage of Randomly Oriented Short Fiber Reinforced Composites

Recently, short fiber reinforced composites are widely utilized in many structural parts in automobile, infrastructure and electric equipment applications due to their high specific strength, high specific stiffness, long fatigue life and high impact resistance as well as cost effective capability of production. If these parts are exposed to low-velocity impact, significant damages may develop ...

Damage Simulation of High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete

The simulation of damage and failure in short fiber reinforced composites like high performance hybrid-fiber reinforced cement composites is still a challenging task, due to the richness of failure mechanisms introduced by fibers on the mesoscale of the material. Randomly oriented, hooked steel fibers, like the Baekaert Dramix® fibers, sustainable modify the macroscopic failure behavior of the ...

Continuum damage mechanics based modeling progressive failure of woven-fabric composite laminate under low velocity impact

A continuum damage mechanics (CDM) meso-model was derived for both intraply and interply progressive failure behaviors of a 2D woven-fabric composite laminate under a transversely low velocity impact. An in-plane anisotropic damage constitutive model of a 2D woven composite ply was derived based on CDM within a thermodynamic framework, an elastic constitutive model with damage for the fibre dir...
