Progressive failure analysis (PFA) is widely used to predict the failure behavior of composite materials. As a structure becomes more complex with discontinuities, prediction of failure becomes more difficult and mesh dependence must be taken into account. In this study, a PFA model was developed using the Hashin failure criterion and crack band model. The failure initiation was evaluated using the Hashin failure criterion. If failure initiation occurred, the damage variables at each failure mode (fiber tension and compression; matrix tension and compression) were calculated according to linear softening degradation and they were then used to derive the damaged stiffness matrix. This matrix reflected a degraded material, and PFA was continued until the damage variables became “1,” implying complete material failure. A series of processes were performed using the finite element method program ABAQUS with a user-defined material subroutine. To evaluate the proposed PFA model, experimental results of open-hole composite laminate tests were compared with the obtained numerical results. The strain behaviors were compared using a digital image correlation system. The obtained numerical results were in good agreement with the experimental ones.

Composite overwrap systems have been widely used to repair damaged pipelines. Its effectiveness has been proven by many researches and engineering applications. However, the research on progressive failure mode of the repaired structure has not been reported. In the present paper, finite element method with Hashin failure criteria is developed to realize the progressive failure analysis. The predicted burst pressure is in good agreement with the burst experiment. Different from widely-reported failure progress in Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPV), the progressive failure analysis for the defected pipeline overwrapped by composite reveals very different failure stages: stable failure propagation and rapid failure propagation. The identification of critical pressure between these two stages is valuable in composite reparation design for the defected pipeline.

The progressive failure analysis of composite pressure vessel under hydrostatic pressure has been carried out. The composite pressure vessel has been modeled by using layer structural shell element. After the failure of the weakest ply, the stiffness is reduced by either fiber failure or matrix failure. The stiffness of failed element has been totally discarded and other element are considered to remain unchanged after the weakest ply failure. The stress of the laminate at the same point is evaluated again to see if the laminate can carry additional load. This ply-by-ply analysis progresses until the ultimate strength of the pressure vessels is reached. A parametric study has been done on the progressive failure analysis.
