Descripción
A numerical framework to obtain the crack resistance curve (R-curve) and its corresponding softening law for fracture analysis in composite materials under small scale bridging has been developed. The use case addresses the intralaminar transverse tensile fracture of a unidirectional ply of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer AS4/8552. The R-curve is computed for this material using a micromechanical embedded model corresponding to the intralaminar transverse tensile fracture toughness characteristic. The model combines an embedded cell approach with the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) displacement field to analyze the local crack growth problem including fiber/matrix interface debonding and matrix ligaments bridging as the main energy dissipation mechanisms. Other large scale toughening effects as, for instance, fiber bridging were not included in the model. Parametric analysis were carried out to assess the influence of the properties of the material constituents on the R-curve behavior and on the corresponding homogenized cohesive laws.
