An enhanced constitutive model to predict plastic deformation and multiple failure mechanisms in fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials

Spurious damage modes in continuum damage mechanics models for fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials based on the effective stress tensor can be generated when large strains occur. A methodology to prevent this spurious phenomenon is developed in the present work. The longitudinal damage acti...

Sumario:Spurious damage modes in continuum damage mechanics models for fiber-reinforced polymer composite materials based on the effective stress tensor can be generated when large strains occur. A methodology to prevent this spurious phenomenon is developed in the present work. The longitudinal damage activation functions are based on the effective stress tensor, however, nominal stresses are used on the transverse damage activation functions. The proposed method can be straightforwardly implemented on previously-developed constitutive models which use the effective stress tensor, an explicit implementation of the proposed constitutive model is presented. The enhancement of the predicted failure mechanisms obtained from the present constitutive model, with respect to the models which use the effective stress tensor, is demonstrated. The proposed constitutive model presents a good agreement of the predicted failure pattern obtained from open-hole compressive experimental tests, as well as on the predicted failure strength
