Evaluation of damage-based material models for carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composite laminate under mixed-mode bending
Composite structures present high strength, low weight and design flexibility in terms of fiber orientation and number of plies and used vastly in advanced and modern applications. Among them, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites (CFRP) are used widely in aeronautic and automotive industries i...

Composite structures present high strength, low weight and design flexibility in terms of fiber orientation and number of plies and used vastly in advanced and modern applications. Among them, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites (CFRP) are used widely in aeronautic and automotive industries in which components are subjected to different loading types and this will necessity of investigation on fracture analysis using damage mechanics concepts. The reliability of structures made of composites, depends on continual process of damage initiation and propagation. In the current research, a specific CFRP composite is being tested and finite element simulated under monotonic loading which creates Mode I, Mode II and Mixed Mode (I&II) of fracture. The specimen is designed and fabricated by Institute of Automotive and Transport Engineering (ISAT) and the damage development can be tracked easily on the localized interface.
