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… More >
