A three-dimensional viscoelastic–viscoplastic and viscodamage constitutive model for unidirectional fibre-reinforced polymer laminates
A novel 3D viscoelastic–viscoplastic and viscodamage constitutive model is proposed to predict the viscous effects due to dynamic loading conditions of unidirectional carbon fibre-reinforced polymer laminates at the meso-scale level. The present model is developed under continuum damage mechanics an...

| Sumario: | A novel 3D viscoelastic–viscoplastic and viscodamage constitutive model is proposed to predict the viscous effects due to dynamic loading conditions of unidirectional carbon fibre-reinforced polymer laminates at the meso-scale level. The present model is developed under continuum damage mechanics and the thermodynamics of irreversible processes framework. The viscoelastic response is modelled using the generalised Maxwell model, while an overstress model is employed to address the viscoplastic strain. The onset of the viscodamage mechanisms is based on experimental expressions, and their propagation is defined as a function of the corresponding fracture toughness. The mechanical response of the present constitutive model under pure longitudinal shear loading conditions at different strain rates is presented. The higher the strain rate is, the stiffer the responses in the viscoelastic and viscoplastic regions are. Additionally, the onset of viscodamage increases with higher strain rates. Off-axis compressive experimental data at two different strain rates are employed to demonstrate the capabilities of the present model with good predictions being obtained |
