## A new model has been developed to investigate matrix cracking in laminated fibrous composite structures. The model can predict matrix cracking and its effect on stiffness reduction. It can also compute the load transfer from the cracked matrix to surrounding fibers. The model is based on the mi

An analytical model based on cumulative damage has been used for predicting the damage evolution in composite materials. The model is verified with experimental data from a carbon/epoxy composite fatigued under tension-tension load. Fatigue tests of specimens have been monitored with an infra-red th
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
