In the present study, an evaluation method for progressive failure of composite laminates has been proposed based on Puck's failure criterion and damage mechanics. The initial failure (or initiation of crack/delamination) has been assessed using Puck's failure criterion, and the progressive failure (or growth of crack/delamination) has been evaluated using fiber- and matrix-dependent damage variables. Based on Puck's failure criterion-damage mechanics coupling theories, the ABAQUS user-defined subroutine UMAT has been developed in order to analyze the progressive failure of glass/carbon fiber-reinforced composite laminates efficiently. In addition, the developed subroutine has been applied to progressive failure problem of industrial composite laminates, and the analysis results has been compared to experimental results which have been already reported in publications. It was confirmed that the simulation results were coincided well with the reported composite failure results.

블레이드의 성능 평가를 위하여 실제 사용 환경과 근접한 하중 모사에 따른 이축 하중의 필요성이 제기되고 있으며, 본 본문에서는 이러한 이축 하중에 따른 블레이드의 거동을 해석하였다. 100kW급 풍력 블레이드를 대상으로 하였으며, ANSYS를 사용하여 정적거동을 분석하였다. 정적거동은 파손해석과 좌굴거동으로 분석하였으며, 파손 평가는 Puck이 제안한 파손 방정식을 이용하여 섬유 파손과 섬유간 파손 기준을 검토하였다. 이축하중의 하중비가 증가함에 따라 루트부 단면이 변하는 후연부와 루트에서 Z+ 3300~3600인 지점에서 응력이 상대적으로 크게 나타났다. 또한 이축 하중비가 증가함에 따라 블레이드 좌굴 지점이 루트부 쪽으로 이동되고 있음을 확인하였다. 따라서 블레이드의 사용 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해서는 이축 하중에 의한 시험이 요구되고 있음을 본 해석을 통해서 확인하였다.

In this paper, we present a fatigue life prediction methodology using multiple S-N curves according to the different stress states of laminated composites. The stress states of the plies of the laminated composites are classified into five modes: longitudinal tension or compression and transverse tension or compression, and shear according to the maximum stress criterion and Puck's criterion with a scaling factor K. This methodology has advantages in computational cost, and it can also consider microstructural characteristics of the composites by applying different S-N curves. The S-N curves for the fatigue analysis are obtained by experimental fatigue test. The proposed methodol is implemented into commercial software, ABAQUS user material subroutine and therefore, the fatigue analysis is conducted using the structural analysis results. The finite element (FE) simulation results are presented for unidirectional composites with and without open-hole. The FE simulation results show that the stress condition is different depending on the fiber orientation of the unidirectional composite, so the fatigue life is calculated with different S-N curves.

This study aims to accurately predict the first ply failure loads of laminated composite hypar shell roofs with different boundary conditions. The geometrically nonlinear finite element method (FEM) is used to analyse different symmetric and anti-symmetric, cross and angle ply shells. The first ply failure loads are obtained through different well-established failure criteria including Puck's criterion along with the serviceability criterion of deflection. The close agreement of the published and present results for different validation problems proves the correctness of the finite element model used in the present study. The effects of edge conditions on first ply failure behavior are discussed critically from practical engineering point of view. Factor of safety values and failure zones are also reported to suggest design and non-destructive monitoring guidelines to practicing engineers. Apart from these, the present study indicates the rank wise relative performances of different shell options. The study establishes that the angle ply laminates in general perform better than the cross ply ones. Among the stacking sequences considered here, three layered symmetric angle ply laminates offer the highest first ply failure load. The probable failure zones on the different shell surfaces, identified in this paper, are the areas where non-destructive health monitoring may be restricted to. The contributions made through this paper are expected to serve as important design aids to engineers engaged in composite hypar shell design and construction.

This research presents results of structural designs and evaluations for 3MW Wind Turbine Blade by FEM analysis. After the GFRP model was designed as a baseline model, failure check by Puck's failure criterion and buckling analysis were accomplished to verify safety of wind turbine blade in the critical design load case. Moreover, applicability of two kinds of carbon spar cap model, was studied by comparing total mass, price and tip deflection to the GFRP model. The results showed that the GFRP model had sufficient structural integrity in the critical design load case, and the carbon spar cap model could be a reasonable solution to reduce weights, tip deflections.
