Abstract
A numerical model capable of dealing with progressive degradation of plain woven composites in a computationally efficient manner is presented in this article. A semi-analytical homogenization method is used to derive effective properties of the composite from the material properties of the constituents. The progressive failure is described using nonlocal continuum damage mechanics where the driving internal variable for the damage is the nonlocal strain. The model was implemented into Abaqus/Explicit, where the failure of a longitudinal tension and an open hole tension specimens were simulated in a multi-scale manner and verified experimentally.
