A Hybrid Approach to Composite Damage and Failure Analysis Combining Synergistic Damage Mechanics and Peridynamics

Abstract

The work performed in the reporting period has been focused on completion of Task 1.1, and continuation of Task 1.2 and Task 2.2 described in the project proposal. The activities related to Task 1.1 are formation of cracks in a computational micromechanics failure analysis of a representative volume element containing disordered fiber distributions and Task 1.2 concerns growth and instability of initiated cracks in the environment of the disordered fiber distributions. The activities related lo Task 2 cover modeling of interface bonds between different phases in a composite.
