| Description | A methodology was developed for the computational simulation of structural fracture in fiber composites. This methodology consists of step-by-step procedures for mixed-mode fracture in generic components and an integrated computer code, Composite Durability Structural Analysis (CODSTRAN). The generic types of composite structural fracture include: (1) single and combined mode fracture in beams; 2) laminate free-edge delamination fracture; and (3) laminate center flaw progressive fracture. Structural fracture is identified by rapid changes in one or all of the following: (1) displacements, (2) frequencies, (3) the buckling loads, or (4) the strain energy release rate. These rapid changes are herein assumed to denote imminent structural fracture. Based on these rapid changes, parameters are identified which can be used as guidelines for structural fracture, inspection intervals and retirement for cause. |
