On the Simulation of Kink Bands in Fiber Reinforced Composites

Publication: Research - peer-reviewArticle in proceeding

View graph of relations

Simulations of kink band formation in fiber reinforced composites are carried out using the commercial finite element program ABAQUS. A smeared-out, plane constitutive model for fiber reinforced materials is implemented as a user subroutine, and effects of fiber misalignment on elastic and plastic deformation are studied under plane strain conditions.
