The present article deals with micromechanical composite modeling. Both, analytical and computational micromechanics approaches are described as well as micromechanical modeling of damage. Based on micromechanics of failure theory, a user subroutine including a progressive damage algorithm is programmed for finite element analysis. Three theoryexperiment correlations of tubes under a three point bending test have been carried out using the bi-phase material model developed along this project. These studies include three ply schedules.
