<jats:p> Due to the increased use of composite materials in industrial applications, reliable and consistent finite element methods are required for the simulation and optimization of composite structures. In this paper, we presented the effect of finite element meshing in the modeling of degradation in composite structures under tensile stress; we have used an elastoplastic model to simulate the damage and plasticity behavior occurring in laminated composite structures carbon/epoxy: T300/914. This model works with different elements and the results obtained are not sensitive to mesh size. Thus, we have showed that two different meshes give the same results. Our findings are in good agreement compared to the experimental data. </jats:p>
