A continuum damage mechanics (CDM) meso-model was derived for both intraply and interply progressive failure behaviors of a 2D woven-fabric composite laminate under a transversely low velocity impact. An in-plane anisotropic damage constitutive model of a 2D woven composite ply was derived based on CDM within a thermodynamic framework, an elastic constitutive model with damage for the fibre dir...

Abstract. In this work, a Ritz formulation for the analysis of damage initiation and evolution in composite plates under progressive loading is presented. The proposed model assumes first order shear deformation theory considers geometric non-linearities through von Karman assumptions. modelled Continuum Damage Mechanics. A set results presented to show potential method highlight some issues be...

in this paper, a general elastoplastic-damage constitutive model considering the effect of strain rate has been developed. the derivation of this model has been cast into the irreversible thermodynamics with internal variables within the fundamentals of continuum damage mechanics (cdm). the rate effect has been involved as an additional term into the plastic yield surface (dynamic plastic yield...

A biophysically based multilayer continuum model of the facial soft tissue composite has been developed for simulating wrinkle formation. The deformed state of the soft tissue block was determined by solving large deformation mechanics equations using the Galerkin finite element method. The proposed soft tissue model is composed of four layers with distinct mechanical properties. These include ...
