Abstract

Several finite element models developed at the mesoscale level are available for predicting the strength and failure progression of composite materials. However, this kind of damage models are commonly validated by comparing with typical coupon-scale testing specimens under uniaxial loading, which are not fully representative of aeronautical structures subjected to complex multiaxial loads. In this work, the Discrete Ply Model (DPM) is employed to reproduce intermediate-scale experimental tests carried out on carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic samples, with a sharp central notch of 100 mm, tested in the VERTEX rig under tension, shear, and combined tension and shear loading. The tests show early buckling (particularly for the shear and combined cases) and development of post-buckling for almost the entire loading. The numerical results obtained demonstrate that the strengths, the fluxes as a function of the applied strains, deformed shapes, buckling modes, crack propagations and failure patterns are predicted with reasonable accuracy.

期刊介绍： The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials. The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
