| Abstract: |
| A representative volume unit cell for 3D four-step braided composites with the periodic boundary condition was established to simulate the progressive damage behaviors.The Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka method was applied to calculate the stiffness matrix of damaged materials.In order to alleviate the mesh dependence,the size of the finite element and the crack were considered in the damage evolution equation.The non-linear stress-strain relationship and the critical tensile strength were obtained through numerical simulation,and the failure mechanism of composites with large braiding angle was also discussed.It is shown that the main failure modes of composites with large braiding angle are matrix cracking,transverse tensile and shear failure of yarns.The results in the paper agree well with the experiments in the literature. |
