An auto-generated geometry-based discrete finite element model for damage evolution in composite laminates with arbitrary stacking sequence
Stiffness degradation and progressive failure of composite laminates are complex processes involving evolution and multi-mode interactions among fiber fractures, intra-ply matrix cracks and inter-ply delaminations. This paper presents a novel finite element model capable of explicitly treating such...
