“…Only a small offset in Case-I is observed which forces the radial stress to vanish at the outer matrix surface (r ¼ r m ) as prescribed in Case-I. The interphasial shear, tensile and compressive strengths for carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites as reported by Wang et al (2011) layer. Therefore, for a carbon-fiber reinforced epoxy composites shear induced damage would occur first within the interphase when the applied tensile stress on the fiber reaches 285 MPa.…”

The objective of this contribution is to present a unifying review on strain-driven computational homogenization at finite strains, thereby elaborating on computational aspects of the finite element method. The underlying assumption of computational homogenization is separation of length scales, and hence, computing the material response at the macroscopic scale from averaging the microscopic behavior. In doing so, the energetic equivalence between the two scales, the Hill-Mandel condition, is guaranteed via imposing proper boundary conditions such as linear displacement, periodic displacement and antiperiodic traction, and constant traction boundary conditions. Focus is given on the finite element implementation of these boundary conditions and their influence on the overall response of the material. Computational frameworks for all canonical boundary conditions are briefly formulated in order to demonstrate similarities and differences among the various boundary conditions. Furthermore, we detail on the computational aspects of the classical Reuss' and Voigt's bounds and their extensions to finite strains. A concise and clear formulation for computing the macroscopic tangent necessary for FE 2 calculations is presented. The performances of the proposed schemes are illustrated via a series of two-and three-dimensional numerical examples. The numerical examples provide enough details to serve as benchmarks.

“…This method accounted for the complicated load stress fields around failed regions, and it captured the gradual activation of the relevant failure mechanisms and their interactions during the fracture process [3]. In order to be closer to the real situation, Jiahai Lu et al [4] built the finite element model containing fibers, matrix and interfaces, simulated the interface with cohesive elements, to predict the transverse isotropic properties of the unidirectional carbon fiber composite.. Based on the micromechanics, Xiaoqiang Wang et al [5] studied the interface property's effects on the composite transverse effective property and damage process with the representative volume element model. In this paper, XFEM and Surface-based Cohesive Behavior in ABAQUS were applied to simulate the transverse cracking process of the carbon fiber composite.…”

Abstract. The Carbon fiber composite material has been widely used for its high specific strength, stiffness and many other excellent properties. But for the unidirectional carbon fiber composite, the transverse performance is much poorer than the longitudinal performance. Under the transverse load, interface debonding and matrix cracking tend to occur. In this paper the software ABAQUS was used to model the mechanical behavior of the carbon fiber composite under the transverse load, the extended finite element method (XFEM) and surface-based cohesive behavior were applied to simulate the interface and matrix transverse cracking in the composite. This simulation method laid a foundation for further studies on the interface and transverse property of the carbon fiber composite.
