Abstract
In this paper, two-dimensional (2D) orthotropic augmented finite element method (A-FEM) is applied to
account for progressive failure of composite laminates under transverse loading, which considers all major
cracking modes (delamination, fiber kinking/rupture matrix cracking). High-fidelity simulations of different
stacking composite laminates under transverse loading are implemented. Both predicted load−deflection
curves and damage evolution are in good agreement with that of experimental results, which demonstrates
the numerical capability of A-FEM. In addition, the influence of stacking sequence on the failure mechanism
is also studied by predicted damage evolution of laminates with different stacking sequence. Results show
that the tensile matrix crack in the bottom laminar is always the first damage mode for the composite
laminate, and the subsequent crack propagation is related to ply orientation of adjacent plies which have a
blocking effect on crack propagation.
