A Material Model for Prediction of Fatigue Damage and Degradation of CFRP Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Objective of the present study is the definition of a material model accounting for fatigue damage and degradation. The model is formulated as a brittle damage model in the otherwise linear elastic framework. A stress driven damage evolution equation is derived from microplasticity considerations. The model is implemented as a user-defined material model into a commercial finite element program. In a comparison with experimental data in the low cycle fatigue regime, a good agreement with the numerical prediction is obtained.
