Prediction of ply crack evolution and stiffness degradation in multidirectional symmetric laminates under multiaxial stress states
(Elsevier, 2018-01-15)A comprehensive study was performed to assess the influence of microscopic ply crack interactions on crack surface opening (COD) and sliding displacements (CSD) for arbitrary plies in general symmetric multidirectional ... -
Time-dependent damage analysis for viscoelastic-viscoplastic structural laminates under biaxial loading
(Elsevier, 2018-11-01)Many composite structures are required to sustain severe thermo-mechanical loads over extended periods of time, during which viscoelastic and viscoplastic behavior can cause the progression of micro-damage. In this paper, ...
