We review the development of virtual tests for high-temperature ceramic matrix composites
with textile reinforcement. Success hinges on understanding the relationship between the …

Fiber reinforced composites have very excellent mechanical properties due to their sophistic
microstructures. At the same time these microstructures can induce complex failure …

The cohesive element (CE) has been widely used to model delamination in laminated
composites. The penalty stiffness, interfacial strength and fracture toughness are three CE …

This paper presents a new method suitable for modelling multiple discontinuities within a
finite element. The architecture of the proposed method is similar to that of the phantom …

The tensile strength of open-hole fibre reinforced composite laminates depends on in-plane,
thickness and ply lay-up scaling. Translaminar (fibre direction) mode I fracture toughness …

This study seeks to establish a high-fidelity mesoscale simulation methodology that can
predict the progressive damage and resultant failure of carbon fiber reinforced plastic …

A numerical computational framework that combines a phase field model (PFM) and
cohesive element (CE) for modelling progressive failure in composite material is proposed …

In this paper, a new phase field method is proposed for modelling of progressive failure in
multi-phase materials. Material properties of the interface between inclusion and matrix are …

In this paper, the recently developed two-dimensional (2D) phase field model is further
applied to study micromechanical progressive failure process in three-dimensional (3D) …

This work is dedicated to a systematic investigation of progressive failure in composite
laminate by using a novel phase field model (PFM). In view of the inherent shortcomings of …
