Abstract

Present study focused on finding the minimum representative volume element (RVE) size for CFRP laminate using progressive damage modeling (PDM) framework. High fidelity generalized methods of cells (HFGMC) has been used in the first step of PDM for stress analysi. To interpret damage initiation and propagation in the CFRP laminate, multi-continum theory (MCT) has been employed with sudden material property degradation rule.
