“…Since in this type of materials the thermal softening effects are almost negligible, makes difficult to justify the sudden drop observed experimentally on the hardening of the material. In order to double check such a behaviour, some preliminary in-house tests on prismatic specimens with the same orientations and material were performed under similar loading conditions (see [15] for some more details). The stressstrain curves obtained from such tests are depicted in Fig.5 with solid markers.…”

Three different approaches to plasticity are investigated to model the experimentally-observed non-linear behaviour of unidirectional fibre-reinforced polymeric matrix materials. The first and simplest approach consists on assuming independent one-dimensional rate-dependent plasticity on in-plane (12) and through-thickness longitudinal (13) shear components of the Cauchy stress tensor. The second, employs a 3D extension of the plane stress Hill’48 anisotropic plastic surface. The third and the last is formulated as a quadratic yield function inspired by Puck’s fracture initiation criterion. It searches for a plastic localisation plane in which a certain combination of normal and shear stresses is maximum. Numerical simulations are conducted to analyse the off-axis compression behaviour of carbon fibre reinforced epoxy composite under varying loading rates. The afore-mentioned three different approaches are explored with an aim to predict the experimentally-observed non-linear response of such composites. The model parameters are determined using a deterministic inverse modelling strategy employing an iterative domain reduction optimisation technique. As far as the experiments are concerned, the quasi-static and medium rate tests were carried out in universal testing machines, while the experiments at high rate were conducted in a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar system. The effectiveness in terms of accuracy and robustness of the three approaches are discussed.

“…The most widely-used failure criteria are the maximum stress, Tsai-Hill, Tsai-Wu, Hashin and Puck-Schürmann (Table 1). Tsai-Hill [84,106,155,[164][165][166][167][168][169][170][171][172][173][174][175][176][177][178] The maximum stress criterion, based on Rankine's theory, is not an interactive criterion; i.e., it does not consider the combined effects of the various components of the tensor. This criterion provides for the rupture when one of the tensor components arrives at the corresponding tensile stress [179,180].…”

“…In the case of inter-fiber failure, there are Modes A, B and C, which include matrix fracture or fiber-matrix displacement. The inter-fiber failure modes were based on the Coulomb-Mohr's fracture hypothesis which is appropriate for brittle fracture behavior of composite materials, wherein failure on a plane occurs when certain resistances, related to its cohesion and internal friction, are overcome [93,164,187,190]. Acoording to Wang and Zhao [165], Puck's criterion has become a mainstream failure criterion for predicting responses of a composite subjected to impact loads.…”

Application of the Finite Element Method in the Analysis of Composite Materials: A Review

et al. 2020

The use of composite materials in several sectors, such as aeronautics and automotive, has been gaining distinction in recent years. However, due to their high costs, as well as unique characteristics, consequences of their heterogeneity, they present challenging gaps to be studied. As a result, the finite element method has been used as a way to analyze composite materials subjected to the most distinctive situations. Therefore, this work aims to approach the modeling of composite materials, focusing on material properties, failure criteria, types of elements and main application sectors. From the modeling point of view, different levels of modeling—micro, meso and macro, are presented. Regarding properties, different mechanical characteristics, theories and constitutive relationships involved to model these materials are presented. The text also discusses the types of elements most commonly used to simulate composites, which are solids, peel, plate and cohesive, as well as the various failure criteria developed and used for the simulation of these materials. In addition, the present article lists the main industrial sectors in which composite material simulation is used, and their gains from it, including aeronautics, aerospace, automotive, naval, energy, civil, sports, manufacturing and even electronics.

“…Detailed information about these parameters are presented in [54][55][56][57]. As a consequence of its phenomenological basis, besides the excellent agreement with experimental data, the Puck and Schürmann failure criterion [54,55] is largely used nowadays in the composite field either in its original form or as a basis for extended theories as can be seen in the literature [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67]. For instance, the fracture plane concept proposed by Puck and Schürmann [54,55] was taken into account to develop the LaRC03 criterion in [68] where a set of six nonempirical criteria for predicting failure of unidirectional fiber reinforced plastic laminates is described.…”

Expanding Puck and Schürmann Inter Fiber Fracture Criterion for Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic 3D-Printed Composite Materials

et al. 2020

The present work expands the application of Puck and Schürmann Inter-Fiber Fracture criterion to fiber reinforced thermoplastic 3D-printed composite materials. The effect of the ratio between the transverse compressive strength and the in-plane shear strength is discussed and a new transition point between the fracture conditions under compressive loading is proposed. The recommended values of the inclination parameters, as well as their effects on the proposed method, are also discussed. Failure envelopes are presented for different 3D-printed materials and also for traditional composite materials. The failure envelopes obtained here are compared to those provided by the original Puck and Schürmann criterion and to those provided by Gu and Chen. The differences between them are analyzed with the support of geometrical techniques and also statistical tools. It is demonstrated that the Expanded Puck and Schürmann is capable of providing more suitable failure envelopes for fiber reinforced thermoplastic 3D-printed composite materials in addition to traditional semi-brittle, brittle and intrinsically brittle composite materials.
