Under complex environments such as continuous or cyclic loads, the stiffness degradation
for the laminated composites such as the carbon fiber reinforced polymer matrix composites …

The extensive use of FRP composite materials in a wide range of industries, and their
inherent variability, has prompted many researchers to assess their performance from a …

Discontinuous fibre composites represent a class of materials that are strong, lightweight
and have remarkable fracture toughness. These advantages partially explain the …

This study aims to evaluate the applicability of failure criteria and damage evolution methods
in the finite element analysis of composite laminates under low-velocity impact. Implemented …

We propose a computational method for a homogenized peridynamics description of fiber-
reinforced composites and we use it to simulate dynamic brittle fracture and damage in …

Progressive damage models based on continuum damage mechanics were used in
combination with cohesive interface elements to predict the structural response and the …

In this paper, a 3D finite element model is established in ABAQUS/Explicit based on a
modified progressive damage model to study the dynamic mechanical response and …

The dynamic mechanical responses and damage development of cross-ply composite
laminates under repeated low-velocity impact are investigated through finite element …

This article reports on the physics-based models for the diagnosis (detection, isolation,
localization, and quantification of damages) and prognosis (prediction of the future evolution …

In the present study, an evaluation method for the initial and progressive failure of composite
laminates was proposed based on the Puck failure criterion and damage mechanics …
