Micromechanics Failure of Fiber Reinforced Composite Laminates

Abstract

The work in this project focused on multiscale modeling of composite laminates between the homogenized layer model and fiber/matrix micro-scale model in the region of high stress gradients. The goal was to develop a macroscopic theory, which can provide the connection between macromechanics (ply level) and micro mechanics (fiber/matrix), especially in characterizing the micro-stress of composite laminates near edges and holes.
