This paper presents an extension of the semi-discrete damage model (SD2M)(Nguyen and
Waas, 2020a, Nguyen and Waas, 2020b), implemented using the finite element (FE) …

A novel semi-discrete damage model (SD2M) is proposed for the progressive failure
analysis (PFA) of composite structures. The presented method utilizes a separation of fiber …

To simulate the plastic deformation and the progressive failure process of fiber reinforced
polymer composites under 3D stress conditions, a new elastic–plastic damage model is …

The main objective of this work is to predict the exact value of the fracture toughness (KQ) of
fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP). The drawback of the American Society for Testing Materials …

In recent decades, several computational models have emerged at the mesoscale for
predicting the failure development and strength of composite materials. Nevertheless, the …

The mode I delamination properties between carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) plies
are difficult to measure because the coupling between the intralaminar and interlaminar …

Developing efficient, robust methods for predicting the progressive failure of carbon fiber
composites under tension is essential for optimal design, balancing weight reduction …

This paper proposes a stochastic approach for estimating the natural frequencies of
reducible composite strips. The framework accounts for multi-scale uncertainty at micro …
