Failure Types

The failure types and ultimate loads for eight carbon-epoxy laminate specimens with a central circular hole subjected to tensile load were tested experimentally and simulated using two different progressive failure analysis (PFA) methodologies. The first model used a lamina level modeling based on the Hashin criterion and the Camanho stiffness degradation theory to predict the damage of the fiber and matrix. The second model implemented a micromechanical analysis technique coined the generalized method of cells (GMC), where the 3D Tsai–Hill failure criterion was used to govern matrix failure, and the fiber failure was dictated by the maximum stress criterion. The progressive failure methodology was implemented using the UMAT subroutine within the ABAQUS/implicit solver. Results of load versus displacement and failure types from the two different models were compared against experimental data for the open hole laminates subjected to tensile displacement load. The results obtained from the numerical simulation and experiments showed good agreement. Failure paths and accurate damage contours for the tested specimens were also predicted.

Plate-cone reticulated shell is a new type of spatial structures with good mechanical behavior, technical economy, and architectural appearance. In this paper, using ANSYS software, the strength failure analysis model of composite laminates is established in cooperation with the Strength Criterion of Hoffman. The effects of layer number, laying direction, and thickness of laminates on the ultimate strength of laminates are studied by detailed parametric analysis, which provides a theoretical basis for the design of composite plate-cone reticulated shell and GFRP laminated plates. Some important conclusions are obtained and can be applied to engineering practice.
