Recent Developments in Modelling of Progressive Damage in Fibre-Reinforced Composites

摘要

This paper provides an overview of recent developments in the modeling of progressive damage in fiber-reinforced composite laminates. Some insights into modeling the size effects of open-hole composite laminates under in-plane tension and compression, the significance of plyblocking and delamination are discussed. Recent interest in the interaction and migration of matrix cracks and delamination, resulting in development of integrated XFEM-CE and floating node methods will also be presented.
