In-plane shear and transverse damage evolution modeling of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic laminates based on transverse cracking
A micromechanics-based simplification was introduced into the continuum damage mechanics (CDM) method for carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) to reduce the number of tests required to identify the evolution of in-plane shear and transverse damage. The energy release rate associated with transverse cracking was als...
