Progressive Fracture of Fiber Composites

Abstract: Refined models and procedures are described for determining progressive composite fracture in graphite/epoxy angleplied laminates. Unique Lewis Research Center capabilities are utilized including the Real-Time Ultrasonic C-Scan (RUSCAN) ex perimental facility and the Composite Durability Structural Analysis (CODSTRAN) computer code. CODSTRAN is used to predict the fracture progression based on com posite mechanics, finite element stress analysis, and fracture criteria modules. The RUSCAN facility, CODSTRAN com… Show more

“…The simulation of progressive fracture has been verified to be in reasonable agreement with experimental data from tensile coupon test on graphite/epoxy laminates (Irvin and Ginty, 1986) damage progression in carbon fiber reinforced plastic I-beams (Hang and Minnetyan, 1998) and carbon/carbon composite plate specimens subjected to three-point bending (Solinsky et al, 2007). A variety of laminated fiber-reinforced composite structures used to simulate the damage progression and fracture, such as: stiffened adhesively bonded composite structures , damage progression in bolted composite structures and damage tolerance of composite pressurized thin shell structures (Gotsis et al, 1996).…”

“…This code has an excellent nonlinear analysis capability and can perform adaptive mesh refinement. The damage progression analysis procedure, widely used by other researchers [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] , evaluates failure ply-byply and discounts the material properties for the failed ply. Other damage progression analysis approaches, such as the one based on continuum damage mechanics 15,16 , can also be implemented.…”
