This paper presents a comparative study between Hashin damage criterion and the
eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) applied to the failure of fiber reinforced polymers …

A methodology for determination of material parameters for the progressive damage
analysis (PDA) model implemented in Abaqus is presented. The methodology is based on …

Composite laminate materials are used extensively in various applications particularly in
aircraft structures. During operation, the aircraft's structure will experience mechanical …

The aim of this work is to investigate the coupling of data-driven (DD) computing and model-
driven (MD) computing for the analyses of engineering structures. The data-driven …

In order to fully exploit the potential of structures made from fiber composites, designers
need to know how damage occurs and develops and under what conditions the structure …

This paper formulates an analytical model based on intrinsic material properties to predict
ply cracking initiation and propagation in multiple plies and its impact on laminate strength in …

To predict the fatigue life of fibrous composites, a CDM model is proposed based on
effective average local stresses such that can predict fatigue life of layered composites with …

This paper proposes a dual experimental/computational data-driven analysis framework for
apparent strength estimation of composite structures consisting of randomly arranged …

Discrete damage mechanics (DDM) refers to micromechanics of damage constitutive
models that, when incorporated into commercial finite element software via user material …
