CURRENT STATUS
T\
An analytical model has been developed for predicting the response of laminated composites withor without a cutout and subjected to in-plane tensile and shear loads. Material damage resulting from theloads in terms of matrix cracking, fiber-matrix shearing, and fiber breakage was considered in the model.Delamination, an out-of-plane failure mode, was excluded from the model.

WHAT DO WE NEED?
In order to accurately predict the response of the laminates, the model must be capable of predictingthe state of damage as a function of the applied load, relating the damage state to the loss of material
properties, and calculating stresses and swains everywhere inside the materials. Accordingly, theproposed analytical model consists of three parts: constitutive modeling, failure analysis and stressanalysis.

FAILURE MODES
The three basic in-plane failure modes of a single unidirectional ply considered in the model arematrix cracking, fiber-matrix shearing, and fiber breakage.

CONSTITUTIVE MODELING
The constitutive equations of a unidirectional ply in an undamaged state can be characterized bystandard mechanical testing. However, once damage occurs in a ply within a multidirectional laminate, thematerial properties of the ply need to be determined in order to construct the constitutive equations for thedamaged laminate. Therefore, the proposed model was based on continuum mechanics whereby thedamaged ply in a laminate was treated as a continuous body with degraded material properties.

MATRIX CRACKING
In order to determine the effect of matrix cracking on the reduction of the stiffness of aunidirectional ply in a laminate, crack density was selected as the damage parameter for characterizing thedamage state of matrix cracking.

MATRIX CRACKING - APPROACH
A constitutive model was developed for characterizing the material properties of a ply in a
symmetric laminate as a function of its own crack density. For a given crack density in a ply whose fiberdirection may not be parallel to the global x-axis, the model f'wst rotates the laminate such that the fiberdirection of the cracked ply is aligned with the x-axis. It is then assumed that all the matrix cracks in theply are uniformly distributed. As a result, a unit-cell of the laminate can be selected as a representativevolume of the cracked laminate. The representative volume may be comprised of up to three sublaminates
labeled as 1, 2 and 3 in the figure.

MATR_ CRACKING
In the constitutive model it was further assumed that the sublaminates 2 and 3 could be treated as
homogeneous and orthotropic materials. Accordingly, the three-dimensional volume could be reduced to atwo-dimensional element. By applying a far-field tensile or shear load, the material properties of the
cracked ply (sublaminate 1) as a function of the crack density could be calculated from a two-dimensionalelasticity theory. The aforementioned procedure was then applied to each of the plies in a laminate for any
given crack density.

FIBER-MATRIX SHEAR-OUT
Once the applied load continued to increase, the plies in the laminate may have failed due to eitherfiber-matrix shearing or fiber breakage, leading to catastrophic failure of the laminate. Fiber-matrix shear-out failure could be attributed to interracial debonding and slipping or nonlinear elasticity of the material.
The aforementioned elasticity theory for matrix cracks could not be applied to characterize the reduction ofmaterial properties resulting from the shear-out failure. To account for interracial debonding and slipping,continuum damage mechanics was adopted based on the concept proposed by Krajcinovic and Fonseka.Nonlinear material response was considered in the model through the shear stress-shear strain relationship.

FIBER BREAKAGE
Based on Rosen's cumulative weakening failure theory, failure of a unidirectional ply undertension occurs only when there are enough fiber breaks that occur within a critical area characterized by thefiber interaction distance 8, which is the maximum distance within which one fiber break would affect the
stresses of the neighboring fibers. Accordingly, not only stresses but also the area within which fiberbreaks occur are essential for characterizing fiber failure of a unidirectional composite.

A hypothesis was postulated that stiffness reduction of a unidirectional composite due to fiberbreakage is related to the extent of the area in which fiber breakage occurs.

DAMAGE GROWTH CRITERIA
Modified Hashin Failure Criteria were adopted for predicting the mode and state of damage of a plyin a laminate. The stresses used in the criteria are the effective stresses obtained from the effective
properties. The effective strengths of the ply are no longer treated as constants, but may vary as a functionof crack density (damage state).

EFFECTIVE STRENGTHS
The effective transverse tensile and shear strengths at crack density _ are defined as the minimum
stresses that are required to generate crack density _bin the ply. A model was proposed based on the
elasticity theory and fracture mechanics to characterize the effective strengths as a function of crack
density.
