Abstract

The constitutive relations and failure criteria of linear anisotropic thermo-visco-elastic solids are presented. The post-failure material behavior is proposed and the dynamic finite element equations for composite structures made of thermo-mechanical solids are formulated. A general-purpose finite element program COMPASS (COMPosite Analysis of Structure Systems) was developed. COMPASS is capable of performing stress and failure analyses of composite structures. In this work, to exemplify the capabilities of the code, progressive failure analysis of a composite laminate with a centred hole was performed.
