Progressive failure analysis of CFRP composite laminates under uniaxial tension using a discrete element method (2020)
Journal Article
Wan, L., Ismail, Y., Sheng, Y., Wu, K., & Yang, D. (2021). Progressive failure analysis of CFRP composite laminates under uniaxial tension using a discrete element method. Journal of Composite Materials, 55(8), 1091-1108. https://doi.org/10.1177/0021998320961460

This study presents a 3D Discrete Element Method (DEM) model for the progressive failure analysis of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composite materials subjected to uniaxial tensile loading. Particles in the model are packed and bonded in reg... Read More about Progressive failure analysis of CFRP composite laminates under uniaxial tension using a discrete element method.
