This paper expounds the basic theory of composite mechanics, and discusses the damage forms, damage analysis and failure criteria of composite materials. Then, the basic mechanical properties of unidirectional CFRP laminates with different layers, including modulus of elasticity, strength and so on, were obtained through a large number of experiments. Based on the experimental data, the relationship between the number of layers and the properties of materials was studied. The brittle fracture process of CFRP laminates was simulated by finite element analysis based on progressive damage model and compared with the force-displacement curves obtained by experiments. The validity of progressive damage model was proved.
