Modelling, identification and finite element predictions of delamination in laminated composite structures

摘要

Modelling, identification and finite element predictions of delamination in laminated composite structures. In order to forecast the delamination initiation and propagation in a finite element context, a previously defined damage meso-modelling of composite laminates is used. At the meso-level, the laminate is described as an assembly of damageable layers and interlaminar interfaces. The present work concerns the modelling, the identification and the finite element predictions of delamination phenomena in composite structures. Finite element predictions are conducted with non-linear geometric and material hypothesis. The interface modelling is implemented in the finite element code Castem 2000 developed by CEA. Classic edge delamination tension and propagation tests are conducted in order to improve the interface damage model approach in the finite elements context.
