Abstract

This work deals with the development of an SMC composite material model, incorporating a homogenisation model and statistical damage criteria. The model theory and the basis for implementation of the model into a commercial finite element analysis package are both presented here. Coarse model validation is performed by evaluating the model parameters for a set of sample data, and applying these to the modelling of the progressive fracture of an SMC plate under tensile loading.
