Failure of composite laminates

• Difficulties

– Different involved mechanisms at

different scales

• Inter-laminar failure

• Intra-laminar failure

Failure of composite laminates

• Difficulties

– Different involved mechanisms at

different scales

• Inter-laminar failure

• Intra-laminar failure

– Direct finite element simulation is not

possible at structural scale

– Continuum damage models do not

represent accurately the intra-laminar

failure

• Damage propagation direction is not in

agreement with experiments

Failure of composite laminates

• Difficulties

– Different involved mechanisms at

different scales

• Inter-laminar failure

• Intra-laminar failure

– Direct finite element simulation is not

possible at structural scale

– Continuum damage models do not

represent accurately the intra-laminar

failure

• Damage propagation direction is not in

agreement with experiments

• Solution:

– Embed damage model in a multi-scale

formulation

– For computational efficiency: use of

mean-field-homogenization

– For macro cracks: using hybrid

DG/Cohesive zone model

Multi-scale modelling

• Multi-scale modelling

– One way: homogenization

– 2 problems are solved

(concurrently)

• The macro-scale problem

• The meso-scale problem (on

a meso-scale Volume

Element)

• Length-scales separation

response

Extraction of a meso-

scale Volume Element

For accuracy: Size of the meso-

scale volume element smaller than

the characteristic length of the

macro-scale loading

To be statistically representative:

Size of the meso-scale volume

element larger than the

characteristic length of the micro-

structure

• Mean-Field-Homogenization

– Macro-scale

• FE model

• At one integration point e is know, s is sought

– Transition

• Downscaling: e is used as input of the MFH model

• Upscaling: s is the output of the MFH model

– Micro-scale

• Semi-analytical model

• Predict composite meso-scale response

• From components material models
