AB  - In this paper the mechanical behavior of composites grid structures has been numerically investigated. The evolution of fibers and matrix cracking has been simulated by adopting a progressive damage approach. The Hashin failure criteria and ply properties degradation rules have been adopted to simulate the degradation at ply level. Non-linear analyses on a Representative Volume Element of the composite grid structure have been performed to account for its compression behavior.
