Abstract
Progressive failure analysis of laminated composite cylindrical shells subjected to internal pressure is carried out based on continuum damage mechanics. The state of distributed microscopic damage is modeled as the damage variable in the irreversible thermodynamic formulation. The damage tensor for composite material accounts for the breakage of fibers, matrix cracking in perpendicular to the fiber direction. The damaged constitutive modeling is formulated by the assumption of strain energy equivalence. The damage analysis of composite shells is carried out using C0 continuous degenerated shell element which uses 3D continuum properties to reduce thickness degrees of freedom onto the surface in terms of rotations. Selective reduced integration is employed. In the present paper, brittle damage analysis of composite shell is investigated by implementing plane stress conditions into the damage evolution functions and assuming the damage distribution to be linear across the thickness of the shells. The nonlinear governing equations are solved using Newton–Raphson iterative technique to trace the equilibrium path. Examples have been presented to apply the employed model for composite shell problems.
