Lamina properties, lay-up configurations and loading conditions for a range of fibre-reinforced composite laminates
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a description of the laminates provided to all participants in an exercise to predict the strength of composite Laminates, including the elastic constants and the stress/strain curves for four unidirectional laminae.
Journal ArticleDOI
A continuum damage model for composite laminates: Part I - Constitutive model
TL;DR: A continuum damage model for the prediction of the onset and evolution of intralaminar failure mechanisms and the collapse of structures manufactured in fiber-reinforced plastic laminates is proposed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physically based failure models and criteria for laminated fibre-reinforced composites with emphasis on fibre kinking. Part II: FE implementation
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D failure criteria for laminated fiber-reinforced composites, based on a physical model for each failure mode and considering non-linear matrix shear behavior, are developed.

Mechanical behavior of unidirectional fiber-reinforced polymers under transverse compression: Microscopic mechanisms and modeling
Carlos González,Javier LLorca +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical behavior of polymer-matrix composites unidirectionally reinforced with carbon or glass fibers subjected to compression perpendicular to the fibers was studied using computational micromechanics using finite element analysis of a representative volume element of the microstructure idealized as a random dispersion of parallel fibers embedded in the polymeric matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling damage evolution in composite laminates subjected to low velocity impact
TL;DR: In this article, the impact damage of composite laminates in the form of intra-and inter-laminar cracking was modelled using stress-based criteria for damage initiation, and fracture mechanics techniques to capture its evolution.

A comparison of the predictive capabilities of current failure theories for composite laminates
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison between the predictions of internationally recognised failure theories for fiber-reinforced polymer-composite laminates is presented, and a bar chart is constructed to demonstrate the levels of agreement between the predicted initial and final failure stresses and strains.
