摘要: Abstract This paper treats evolution of ply cracks in multidirectional composite laminates subjected to a quasi-static tensile load the longitudinal direction. Starting with pre-existing off-axis plies, formation additional is analyzed by an energy-based approach. A critical laminate energy parameter associated these defined and evaluated using experimental data for reference cross-ply laminate. The modeling approach requires crack surface displacements, which are calculated three-dimensional finite element (3-D FE) analysis performed on suitable representative volume given cracked model predictions agree well [ 0 / ± θ 4 1 2 ] s 90 ∓ 45 laminates. parametric study conducted evaluate effects thickness stacking sequence damage m n p
