Two-Dimensional Modeling of Behavior of Composite Laminates Using Microplane Method, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Kazemi, Mohammad Taghi (Supervisor)
Abstract
This study presents a modified Microplane model in two-dimensional space which is capable of modeling anisotropic materials accurately. The main idea of Microplane model is to write constitutive equations in terms of vectors rather than tensors. Material constitutive laws are written for planes of every possible orientation to calculate the response of each plane to a given loading. Then the results of all the planes, called microplanes, are added up using Principle of Virtual Work (PVW) to form together the macroscopic response of the material. Microplane model with kinematic constraint is used in this study. Kinematic constraint states that microscopic (local) strain vector acting on each...
