Being applied to three-dimensional (3D) solid elements and cohesive elements, the nonlinear damage model can be used to analyze the dynamic performance of composite structure and its failure be- havior. For the intralaminar damage, as a function of the energy release rate, the damage model in an exponential function can describe progressive development of the damage. For the interlaminar damage, the damage evolution is described by the framework of the continuum mechanics through cohesive elements. Coding the user subroutine VUMAT of the finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit, the model is applied to an example, i.e., carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite laminates under low-velocity impact. It is shown that the prediction of damage and deformation agrees well with the experimental results.展开更多

Considering geometrical nonlinearity, thermal environment and geometrical initial imperfection, the incremental nonlinear equilibrium equations of delaminated fiber metal laminated beams are established, which are solved using the differential quadrature method and iterative method. Based on these, according to the J-integral theory, the elasto-plastic energy release rate is studied. The effects of some important parameters on the elasto-plastic postbuckling behavior and energy release rate of the aramid reinforced aluminum laminated beams are discussed in details.展开更多
