“…This paper presents a formulation for a threedimensional ply failure model for composite laminates. The proposed model is an extension of the authors previous work [44]. The new version of the model incorporates strain rate effects in shear by means of a semiempirical 4 International Journal of Aerospace Engineering viscoplastic constitutive law and combines a quadratic stress based criterion with the Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion to predict interfibre-failure (IFF) without knowing a priori the orientation of the fracture plane.…”

“…These laws compared to the widely used bilinear law ensure smoothness at damage initiation and fully damaged stress onsets leading to a more stable numerical response. Iterative energy based criteria have been also added to the previous version [44] to better predict damage under multiaxial stress states. The model also incorporates a three dimensional objectivity algorithm [45] which accounts for orthotropic and crack directionality effects, making the model to be completely free of strain localization and mesh dependence problems.…”

A fully 3D failure model to predict damage in composite structures subjected to multiaxial loading is presented in this paper. The formulation incorporates shear nonlinearities effects, irreversible strains, damage and strain rate effects by using a viscoplastic damageable constitutive law. The proposed formulation enables the prediction of failure initiation and failure propagation by combining stress-based, damage mechanics and fracture mechanics approaches within an unified energy based context. An objectivity algorithm has been embedded into the formulation to avoid problems associated with strain localization and mesh dependence. The proposed model has been implemented into ABAQUS/Explicit FE code within brick elements as a userdefined material model. Numerical predictions for standard uniaxial tests at element and coupon levels are presented and discussed.

“…The damage model used the strains at damage onset and at complete damage, effectively defined the damage variable for degradation and accurately captured the damage progression for composite laminates Donadon et al 2008;Faggiani and Falzon 2010;Feng and Aymerich 2014;Liu et al 2016;Topac et al 2017), which a typical damage variable defined for tensile damage mode is shown in Eq. (2.30).…”

“…Therefore, the numerical simulation by means of finite element method (FEM) has been extensively developed to predict the complicated damage modes within composite structures when subjected to dynamic impact loadings, especially at the early design stage when such simulation can minimise the risks prior to implementation of experiments and avoid waste of mechanical tests and manufacturing of components (Shi et al 2016). A large amount of research on developing predictive damage models have been reported in literature (Abrate 1998;Shi et al , 2016Riccio et al 2014;González et al 2012;Li et al 2014a;Schwab et al 2016;Donadon et al 2008;Faggiani and Falzon 2010;Feng and Aymerich 2014;. Damage in composites can be usually modelled using failure criteria methods and damage mechanics approaches to predict damage evolution under external impact loading.…”

The paper presents recent progress on modelling low velocity impact induced damage in fibre reinforced composite laminates. It is important to understand the mechanisms of barely visible impact damage (BVID) and how it affects structural performance. To reduce labour intensive testing, the development of finite element (FE) techniques for simulating impact damage becomes essential and recent effort by the composites research community is reviewed in this work. The FE predicted damage initiation and propagation can be validated by Non Destructive Techniques (NDT) that gives confidence to the developed numerical damage models. A reliable damage simulation can assist the design process to optimise laminate configurations, reduce weight and improve performance of components and structures used in aircraft construction.

Composite structures are susceptible to impact damage. Here we discuss the damage of composites subjected to impact with different velocity and energy. We summarize the testing and evaluation methods of impact resistance and damage toleration and conclude the effects of composite fiber structures and material properties on impact damage. Finally, we discuss the theoretical and numerical analyses of impact damage on composites.
