Abstract [en]

Intralaminar cracking in relatively thick 90-plies of [ +/- theta/90(n)]s laminates is analyzed using experimental data for two Glass fiber/Epoxy (GF/EP) material systems. Weibull parameters for transverse failure stress of the 90-ply are obtained from experimental intralaminar crack density versus applied strain data, showing that a reliable analysis requires sufficient amount of data in so called noninteractive crack density region. Monte Carlo simulations of cracking were performed using stress distribution between two cracks calculated using two models: Hashins model and a novel model that ensures that the average stress is exactly the same as in FEM solution. Due to its features, the Hashins model predicts too low intralaminar crack density (it predicts too strong interaction between cracks). The results emphasize the importance of having a proper stress distribution model when performing Monte Carlo simulations. Simulations were used not only to simulate intralaminar cracking in high and very low crack density regions but also for improving the procedure of Weibull parameter determination.
