Failure Predictions

Failure analysis of laminates is performed by progressive failure analysis method. A modified form of Hashin’s failure criterion by Shokrieh is used to detect the failure, where a sudden degradation model is proposed to reduce engineering material constants. The numerical analysis of composite laminates is implemented in ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL) with commercial finite element codes ANSYS. The method can predict the initiation and propagation of local damage and response of laminated composite structures from initial loading and ultimate failure. The model has been validated by comparing numerical results with existing experimental results. And then failure analysis specimen fabricated from M40J/Ag80 and investigation on influence of stacking sequences and fiber orientations have been performed by the proposed model.

Progressive Failure Analysis

AbstractThis paper is concerned with the development of a failure initiation and progressive failure analysis (PFA) method for advanced composite structures. The present PFA model is capable of predicting interactive out-of-plane and in-plane failure modes observed in fiber reinforced composite laminates including interlaminar behavior and matrix microdamage at the mesoscale. A probability analysis tool is coupled with the PFA to account for uncertainty in modelling parameters caused by material variability and manufacturing inconsistencies. The progressive damage response of a laminated composite panel with an initial delamination is studied and used to demonstrate the PFA modelling framework that is presented here.

Progressive Failure Analysis

Failure process of laminated composites with the hole under in-plane compressive loading is performed by progressive failure analysis method. A modified form of Hashin’s failure criterion by Shokrieh is used to investigate the failure, where a sudden degradation model is proposed to reduce engineering material constants. The numerical study of laminated composites is implemented in ANSYS Parametric Design Language (APDL). The initiation and propagation of local damage and response of laminated composite structures from initial loading and ultimate failure are predicted. The model has been validated by comparing numerical results with existing experimental results. And then failure analysis of specimen fabricated from M40J/Ag80 on influence of the hole under compressive loading has been performed by the proposed model.
