✦ Synopsis

This papers describes the computational implementation of a new damage model for laminated composites proposed in a previous paper. The objectivity of the numerical solution is assured by regularizing the energy dissipated at a material point by each failure mechanism. A viscous model is proposed to mitigate the convergence difficulties associated with strain softening constitutive models. To verify the accuracy of the approach, analyses of coupon specimens were performed, and the numerical predictions were compared with experimental data.

An experimental study was carried out to characterise the constitutive response of carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy laminates. While maintaining essentially linear behaviour in the fibre and transverse directions, this material displays significant non-linear shear stress-strain behaviour to rupture. I

A constitutive model to predict stiffness reduction due to transverse matrix cracking is derived for laminae with arbitrary orientation, subject to in-plane stress, embedded in laminates with symmetric but otherwise arbitrary laminate stacking sequence. The moduli of the damaged laminate are a funct
