Abstract

In this study, development of a decoupled multiscale analysis method for woven composites is conducted. To this end, an elastic-viscoplastic macroscopic constitutive model which is able to express strong anisotropy of composites is introduced, and the material parameters in the constitutive model are determined based on the results of triple-scale homogenization analysis. Moreover, the constitutive model is implemented in the finite element analysis code LS-DYNA. The developed method is applied to 3-point bending analysis of plain-woven carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites with various types of laminates configurations. It is shown that the present method can analyze their different behavior depending on the laminate configuration with greatly reduced computational costs.
