LVI has become a serious threat to the composite industry because it induces complex
failure mechanisms and internal damages which significantly reduce the structural …

The main factors in the ballistic impact mechanism, an incredibly complicated mechanical
process, are the target material's thickness, toughness, strength, ductility, density, and …

A continuum damage model for the prediction of the onset and evolution of intralaminar
failure mechanisms and the collapse of structures manufactured in fiber-reinforced plastic …

As a new composite material with high strength, toughness, and heat resistance, the
continuous fiber-reinforced polyaryl ether sulfone ketone (PPESK) thermoplastic resin matrix …

A bottom‐up, multiscale modeling approach is presented to carry out high‐fidelity virtual
mechanical tests of composite materials and structures. The strategy begins with the in situ …

This paper presents a pressure-dependent three-dimensional constitutive law to predict
failure for laminated composites. The nonlinear constitutive response in shear and in the …

This papers describes the computational implementation of a new damage model for
laminated composites proposed in a previous paper. The objectivity of the numerical …

This paper presents finite element simulations of two standardized and sequential tests
performed in polymer–matrix composite laminates reinforced by unidirectional fibers: the …

This paper examines the use of a continuum damage model to predict strength and size
effects in notched carbon–epoxy laminates. The effects of size and the development of a …

A criterion for matrix failure of laminated composite plies in transverse tension and in-plane
shear is developed by examining the mechanics of transverse matrix crack growth. Matrix …
