Abstract

A finite-element based method is developed to predict gas permeability in cross-ply laminates. Based on Poiseuille's Law and Darcy's Law, the gas permeability is presented in terms of crack densities, microcrack opening displacements and an experimentally determined constant. The crack densities in each ply are predicted using finite element analysis based on energy concept of micro-fracture mechanics. The microcrack opening displacement of the representative volume element in cross-ply laminate is computed using three-dimensional finite element analysis. The normalized gas permeability in three laminates with different lay-ups are predicted and compared using the current model. Finally, a permeability-related material constant is quantified using the experimental results available in the literature.
