Numerical investigation of initial crack growth in composite laminates under tension

The simplified automated strength model of a fragment of composite laminate at microlevel based on the finite elements (FE) method is offered. The model allows investigating the growth of microcracks which arise in the resin in monolayers, orthogonal to a direction of external tensile force. On the...
