“…In the present work, a thin epoxy interface layer with thickness 0.1 mm was used to predict a 3-D delamination effects between the plies and simulated using Linear 8-node hexahedral brick elements (C3D8R). It was simulated as isotropic material with modulus elasticity 4 GPa and Poisson's ratio 0.398 (Warren et al 2016). The interface layer was tie at each face of GFRP lamina.…”

To simulate the progressive failure of pinned joint in quasi-isotropic [0/45/-45/90]s glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite laminates used in pipeline, 3-D finite element model is employed in the present work. Hashin failure criterion as a progressive damage model associated with Virtual-CrackClosing-Technique (VCCT) delamination model has been adopted to predicate the failure due to fiber breakage, matrix cracking and delamination in composite pinned joint. This technique may be an innovation for this paper. W/D has been changed to get different modes of failure, i.e. tension, shear-out and bearing failures, in composite pinned joint,. The failure mode for GFRP composite pinned joint has been predicted finally after prediction the failure at each ply laminate of stacking sequence [0/45/-45/90]s. An experimental work of pinned joint in quasi-isotropic GFRP composite laminates has been conducted to validate the present numerical results. The numerical and experimental results showed an agreement between them. Therefore, the present 3D finite element model can be considered as a good candidate to expect the progressive damage in composite pinned joints.

“…Li et al (2011) and Zhang et al , 2015a applied the planar Hashin's method to predict mechanical behaviour of braiding structures. In order to use 3D elements in ABAQUS, the Hashin's 3D failure criteria were usually implemented in a user-defined subroutine (Warren et al 2016;Zhang et al 2017a). When the braided composites were regarded as orthotropic materials, failure modes in the thickness direction, as shown below, should be considered (Kang et al 2016):…”

“…The reported degradation factors are listed in Table 1. Warren et al (2016) developed a 3D progressivedamage model to capture the onset and initial propagation of damage in a 3D woven composite in a single-bolt, double-shear joint. The model combined the well-established Hashin failure criteria and the Matzenmillere-Lublinere-Taylor damage model to capture bearing damage; failure indicators were used to calculate DVs.…”

Composites reinforced with woven or braided textiles exhibit high structural stability and excellent damage tolerance thanks to yarn interlacing. With their high stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios, braided composites are attractive for aerospace and automotive components as well as sports protective equipment. In these potential applications, components are typically subjected to multi-directional static, impact and fatigue loadings. To enhance material analysis and design for such applications, understanding mechanical behaviour of braided composites and development of predictive capabilities becomes crucial. Significant progress has been made in recent years in development of new modelling techniques allowing elucidation of static and dynamic responses of braided composites. However, because of their unique interlacing geometric structure and complicated failure modes, prediction of damage initiation and its evolution in components is still a challenge. Therefore, a comprehensive literature analysis is presented in this work focused on a review of the state-of-the-art progressive damage analysis of braided composites with finite-element simulations. Recently models employed in the studies on mechanical behaviour, impact response and fatigue analyses of braided composites are presented systematically. This review highlights the importance, advantages and limitations of as-applied failure criteria and damage evolution laws for yarns and composite unit cells. In addition, this work provides a good reference for future research on FE simulations of braided composites.

“…There is a need to accurately predict the fatigue behavior of woven fabrics of an arbitrary layup based on the test data of coupons with pre-defined ply orientations. While many studies have been performed on failure analyses of fiber-reinforced woven fabrics subject to quasi-static and dynamic load cases [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], progressive damage studies of the fabric materials due to fatigue are still limited because of the perception of a higher fatigue damage resistance of woven-fabric laminates under normal operating conditions. The presence of fabrication induced defects and the combined aggressive mechanical and environmental loading conditions has driven the current design and certification of a composite structure to be based on the damage tolerance approach.…”

A new 3D damage model is developed to predict the progressive failure and accumulated fatigue damage of woven fabric composite materials. Stress-based failure criteria are used to predict the damage initiation in x-tow, y-tow, and matrix constituent. An S-N based damage accumulation model is implemented to characterize the cycle dependent strength of the xand y-fiber tows and matrix subjected to axial tension, compression, or in-plane share loading. A curve-fit non-linear shear model is also employed based on the static coupon test data of (+45/-45) woven fabric laminates. A static failure progression module is used to predict the damage and failure at the peak load prior to fatigue cycling. Stiffness degradation, fatigue damage accumulation, and failure mode detection are performed during the fatigue marching process. The developed user-defined material model for Abaqus features: 1) description of initial nonlinear shear before the damage initiation; 2) characterization of failure initiation based on a maximum stress criterion; and 3) performance of fatigue damage accumulation using a phenomenological model based on S-N test data. The predictive capabilities of the developed model are demonstrated using tensiontension fatigue of SYNCOGLAS R420 E-glass woven fabrics.
