Progressive Damage of Unidirectional Composite Panels

Abstract: This work focuses on the numerical simulation of damage and fracture of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite structures using the finite element method. A computational model is presented which can predict initial failure and is capable of the simulation of the subsequent process of local material damage up to final fracture. This procedure also known as progressive failure analysis originally combines Puck's failure criterion for the prediction of local failure and an innovative stiffness degradation app… Show more

“…Modal analysis was performed using finite element method and the resulting eigenfrequencies were compared to the experimental data. The cracks in the damaged beam were simulated by stiffness degradation approach [4]. The summary of frequencies calculated by modal analysis and corresponding values from experiments are shown in Table 1 for the four lowest modes.…”

“…(Figure 2). The transformation from system O(x,y,z) to system O (1,2,3) is performed using the rotation about axes z º e 3 by angle q. The strains are transformed using relation e 12 = T r e xy 1,2 and the stresses are transformed using relation s 12 = T r -T s xy 3 where the transformation matrix has the following form: …”
