The present work aims to obtain failure loads for open-hole unidirectional composite plates under tensile loading. For this purpose, a user-defined material model in the finite element analysis package, ABAQUS, was developed to predict the failure load of the open-hole composite laminates using progressive failure analysis. Hashin and modified Yamanda-Sun’s failure criteria with complete and Camanho’s material degradation model are studied. In order to achieve the most accurate predictions, the influence of failure criteria and property degradation rules are investigated and failure loads and failure modes of the composites are compared with the same experimental test results from literature. A good agreement between experimental results and numerical predictions was observed.

The stress concentration caused by notches is a common engineering issue for composite structure application. 3D braided composite possess excellent damage tolerance compared to common laminates. The tensile properties of 3D braided composite with open-hole and un-notched were experimentally examined. The mechanic properties of 3D braided composite in other directions are predicted using FGM (Fabric Geometry Model) and finite element analysis. The stress distributions around the hole and perpendicular to the loading direction are analyzed based on Abaqus software. The simulation results were compared with Lekhnitskii's analytical study. The open-hole strength of 3D braided composite was predicted respectively using Average stress failure criteria, Point stress failure criteria (PSC), and also the progressive failure analysis based on different failure criteria. The predicted strength results were compared to the experimental values. The results show the PSC predicted strength matched the experiment, while the progressive failure analysis can predict the failure initiation, propagation and final failure mode.

Failure Loads

A two-dimensional progressive failure analysis is conducted to predict the failure loads and modes of carbon-epoxy composite joints under pin-loading. An eight-node laminated shell element is used for the finite element modeling. Post-failure stiffness is evaluated based on the complete unloading model combined with various failure criteria. The comparison of finite element and experimental results shows that the finite element analysis based on the combined maximum stress and Yamada-Sun criteria most accurately predicts the failure loads of the composite laminated joints.

AbstractFour different local reinforcement schemes used in composite bolted joints were studied. In numerical study, a set of 3-D failure criteria was used and the progressive failure analysis was implemented via user-defined subroutine vectorized user-material (VUMAT), which was programmed by the commercial finite element (FE) software ABAQUS. In the experiment, test specimens were manufactured with different local reinforcement schemes, and the mechanical performances of these specimens were tested under tensile loads. Failure modes of these specimens were observed and mechanical performances of test specimens with local reinforcement were studied. It was found that the numerical results agreed well with the experiment. It was also found that local reinforcement schemes influenced the mechanical performances of bolted joints obviously and that the tensile strength of composite bolted joints could be improved significantly by burying laminate slices.

Failure Loads

Failure prediction of adhesively bonded single-lap laminates joints with spew fillets in the overlap ends under uniaxial tensile loading is performed by progressive failure analysis method. A modified form of Hashins failure criterion by Shokrieh and maximum stress criterion are used to detect the laminate failure and adhesive failure, respectively, where a sudden degradation model is proposed to reduce engineering material constants. Five kinds of failure modes are considered. The numerical analysis of composites adhesive joints is implemented in ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) with commercial finite element codes ANSYS. The error of simulation and experimental failure loads is 6.9% and the model has been validated by comparing numerical results with experimental results.

Progressive Failure Analysis

This paper considers damage development mechanisms in cross-ply laminates using an accurate numerical model. Under static three points bending, two modes of damage progression in cross-ply laminates are predominated: transverse cracking and delamination. However, this second mode of damage is not accounted in our numerical model. After a general review of experimental approaches of observed behavior of laminates, the focus is laid on predicting laminate behavior based on continuum damage mechanics. In this study, a continuum damage model based on ply failure criteria is presented, which is initially proposed by Ladevèze. To reveal the effect of different stacking sequence of the laminate; such as thickness and the interior or exterior disposition of the 0° and 90° oriented layers in the laminate, an equivalent damage accumulation which cover all ply failure mechanisms has been predicted. However, the solution algorithm using finite element analysis which implements progressive failure analysis is summarized. The results of the numerical computation have been justified by the previous published experimental observations of the authors.

Failure Types

The failure types and ultimate loads for eight carbon-epoxy laminate specimens with a central circular hole subjected to tensile load were tested experimentally and simulated using two different progressive failure analysis (PFA) methodologies. The first model used a lamina level modeling based on the Hashin criterion and the Camanho stiffness degradation theory to predict the damage of the fiber and matrix. The second model implemented a micromechanical analysis technique coined the generalized method of cells (GMC), where the 3D Tsai–Hill failure criterion was used to govern matrix failure, and the fiber failure was dictated by the maximum stress criterion. The progressive failure methodology was implemented using the UMAT subroutine within the ABAQUS/implicit solver. Results of load versus displacement and failure types from the two different models were compared against experimental data for the open hole laminates subjected to tensile displacement load. The results obtained from the numerical simulation and experiments showed good agreement. Failure paths and accurate damage contours for the tested specimens were also predicted.
