Abstract Delamination and matrix cracking are two common failure mechanisms in composite structures, and are usually coupled with each other, leading to multiple failures pattern. This paper proposed a fast damage prediction methodology for composite laminated structures based on the ply-by-ply 2D (two dimensional) FE model of composite laminates in the transverse plane. The layer-wise 2D FE model was firstly used in conjunction with the integrated XFEM/CE strategy, which simulated the interface delamination with cohesive elements and the intra-ply matrix crack with XFEM (extended finite element method). To realize ply-by-ply 2D FE (finite element) modeling of More >
