Abstract

A finite-element (FE) model simulating the elastic behavior of anisotropic glass/epoxy composite laminates subjected to a biaxial tensile loading is proposed. A progressive failure prediction and analysis are performed in the ABAQUS FE code by using user-defined constitutive equations. A numerical analysis is performed for different loading ratios and ply angles. Gradual failure patterns of fiber and matrix are presented.
