Abstract
This article presents the latest developments of a constitutive modelling framework, CODAM (COmposite DAmage Model), for predicting the non-linear in-plane response of composite laminates using continuum damage mechanics. The methodology is best suited for non-linear structural analysis of large-scale laminated composites whose boundaries do not interfere/interact with the damage zone that develops and grows within the structure. The new development presented here, CODAM2, addresses the deficiencies in both the numerical and material objectivity of the original version of CODAM. While the previous CODAM formulation was essentially a local smeared crack model that was augmented with crack band scaling to overcome one aspect of the numerical objectivity, namely the mesh-sensitivity, CODAM2 introduces a non-local regularisation scheme to alleviate both the spurious mesh dependency and mesh orientation problems that plague all local strain-softening models. Two of the 13 test cases, provided in the third-world wide failure exercise, which were related to the in-plane tensile and compressive loading of open hole specimens, were used in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of CODAM2 in predicting the damage development and the corresponding overall response in such structural loading configurations.
