摘要
A meso-scale finite element model for static damage in textile composites was established. The impregnated yarn is taken as homogeneous and transverse isotropic material, whose mechanical properties are calculated using Chamis' equations. The damage modes are determined by using the Tsai-Wu criterion and additional criteria. The Murakami damage tensor is used to calculate the post-damage stiffness matrix. The model has been validated using plain weave and twill weave carbon-epoxy composites. The initiation of inter-fiber matrix cracks and fiber rupture were analyzed using this meso-FE model.
