An explicit finite element modelling of the 5-harness satin woven composite material is proposed in this paper. It is based on the semi-continuous approach which consists in separating fibre and matrix mechanical behaviours. The bundles are modelled with rod elements and a specific damageable shell element is used to stabilize this truss structure. As the woven pattern geometry plays a key role in...
This article surveys existing cohesive zone models (CZM) and their use in numerical simulations for analysis impacts on composite structures and predicting the damage induced. These models are used for matrix cracks and delamination. The first part of article gives the required background on failure criteria for predicting the onset of delaminations, on fracture mechanics and the various types of...
