dc.description.abstract | In this thesis, strain amplification factors of Strain Invariant Failure Theory (SIFT) for composites are obtained by three-dimensional finite element method. Strain amplification factors are obtained for a particular composite system, i.e. carbon/epoxy, and for a certain fiber volume fraction Vf (in this case, as reference, Vf = 60%). Parametric studies have also been performed to obtain strain amplification factors for Vf = 50% and Vf = 70%. Other composite systems such as glass/epoxy and boron/epoxy are also discussed in terms of strain amplification factors. Open-hole tension specimen is chosen to perform the growth of damage in composite plate. Finite element analysis incorporating Element-Failure Method (EFM) and SIFT within an in-house finite element code was performed to track the damage propagation in the open-hole tension specimen. The effect of fiber volume fraction can be captured by observing the damage progression. | |
