| Abstract | |
This work presents a viscoelastic in-plane damage model for fibrous composites. The material behavior is modeled as linear viscoelastic, with brittle failure in the fiber-dominated direction, and progressive degradation of the matrix-dominated properties, when the composite is loaded perpendicularly to the fibers or in in-plane shear. An evaluation procedure has been performed by comparing computational stress-strain curves against tensile tests curves under three different displacement rates. In addition, a calibration of the viscoelastic properties, by means of the response surface methodology, is also presented. The proposed material model has shown reasonable performance up to the material reaching an experimentally-verified modulus transition zone. Besides, the viscoelastic calibration procedure has produced a good agreement with the experimental results, concerning maximum stresses. It was observed that the computational stress-strain curve has deviated from the experimental one for higher stress values, indicating that it is necessary to improve the assessment of the nonlinear phenomena, which occur within the material.
