This manuscript offers a comprehensive review of the state of art on the machining induced
damage modelling of long fibre reinforced polymers (LFRP), focusing on the two most …

In this paper, the mechanical response of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plates
subjected to repeated low-velocity impacts is numerically investigated. 3D models of …

Phase-Field (PF) methods of fracture have emerged as powerful modeling tools for
triggering fracture events in solids. These numerical techniques efficiently alleviate mesh …

The development of predictive numerical methods, which accurately represent the
progressive failure of long fiber composite materials, is nowadays required for the …

Abstract Failure processes in Laminated Fiber-Reinforced Composites (LFRCs) entail the
development and progression of different physical mechanisms and, in particular, the …

Bolted joints are the dominant connection method in assembling composite structures. To
investigate the failure mechanism of composite bolted joints under tensile loading, a three …

The progressive damage analysis of fiber-reinforced composite materials is a challenging
task, especially when complicated cracking scenarios arise due to the onset and …

This paper presents the implementation and evaluation of a continuum damage mechanics-
based material model to predict the damage and mechanical response of carbon fibre …

A new phase field model considering the interfacial damage for different configurations of a
fiber reinforced composite is proposed and formulated. Crack and non local interface are …
