Abstract
An analytical model of the fiber-reinforced composite lamina is constructed based on bond-based peridynamics (PD), which utilizes variable matrix bonds and fiber bonds to evaluate the static properties of matrix and fiber materials, respectively. The bond stiffness of the matrix is determined by trigonometric functions, and fibers are represented by constants. The proposed PD model describes the continuous variations in the static properties of composites as a function of fiber angle. Both the conventional analytical method and the PD method are used to solve the failure-free elastic deformation issue. The two methods estimate maximum errors in the displacement of material points in the x and y directions of 0.01 % and 4.86 %, respectively, indicating good consistency. The failure propagation of the preexisting crack layer under the axial tensile load is simulated and the obtained failure modes are in good agreement with experimental results. The proposed composite lamina model simulates the influence of fiber direction on overall behavior through various matrix bond stiffness. Breaking through the limitation of constant matrix bond stiffness in conventional models, is conducive to promoting the further development of bond-based composite PD models.
