Abstract :
[en] The failure of carbon fiber reinforced composite laminates is studied using a multiscale method. A non-local mean-field homogenization (MFH) method accounting for the damage evolution of the matrix phase of the composite material [1] is considered in each ply in order to capture the intra-laminar failure. In that formulation, an incremental-secant MFH approach is used to account for the elastic unloading of the fibers during the strain softening of the matrix. In order to avoid the strain/damage localization caused by the matrix material softening, the damage enhanced MFH was formulated in an implicit non-local way [2]. Accurate predictions of the composite softening behavior and of the different phases response is then achieved. The delamination process is modeled by recourse to a hybrid discontinuous Galerkin (DG)/ extrinsic cohesive law approach. An open-hole composite laminate with a quasi-isotropic sequence ([90/45/-45/90/0]S) is then studied experimentally and using the multiscale method [3]. The numerical model is found to predict the damage bands along the fiber directions in agreement with the experimental samples inspected by X-ray computed tomography (XCT). Moreover, the predicted delamination pattern is found to match the experimental observations. Finally, with a view to stochastic analysis, the effect of the volume fraction and orientation variations on the failure is studied by defining them as random variables. REFERENCES [1] L. Wu, L.
