In this paper, four plastic instability criteria, which are based on the bifurcation theory, coupled with GTN damage model for prediction of diffuse and localized necking. General (GB) criterion limit-point (LPB) used to predict necking, while loss ellipticity (LOE) strong (LOSE) The resulting constitutive equations criteria implemented into finite element code ABAQUS/Standard. formulated withi...

Abstract Ductile damages often happen on metal structures under large deformations. In the current paper, ductile damage criteria are discussed from microscopic mechanism to fracture models. Abaqus FEA makes easy be applied for practical problems. Therefore, paper finally presents detailed implementation of in describe and degradation, simulating failure process with higher fidelity.

This study presents a data-driven, probability embedded approach for the failure prediction of IM7/8552 unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials under biaxial stress states based on micromechanical modelling and artificial neural networks (ANNs). High-fidelity 3D representative volume element (RVE) finite models were used generation points. Fibre friction betwee...

Abstract The aim of this article is to determine the effects hygrothermal ageing on tensile behaviour asymmetric discontinuous helicoidally stacked (Bouligand structured) carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites. Eight different Bouligand stacking sequences were manufactured using both major and minor pitch angles. angles used 90° 120° while at 5°, 10°, 15° 25° from each composites tes...

Cherkaev-Gibiansky and Hashin-Shtrikman variational principles are utilized in order to obtain rigorous bounds on the shear modulus of two-phase viscoelastic composites in three dimensions. The simplest class of bounding regions is composed of circles in the complex plane containing four points related to the viscoelastic moduli of the constituents. By taking the intersection of all such circle...

With the increasing requirements of automotive lightweighting, metal/CFRP laminates are increasingly used. In this paper, Al/CFRP were prepared using an integrated hot press curing method, and optimum conditions determined single-lap shear test at 130 °C for 45 min. The effects fiber lay-up, forming speed, metal layer thickness on bending springback investigated V-shaped Abaqus finite element a...
