Abstract

Interfacial damage mechanism is considered by cohesive zone model in finite element analysis of a representative volume cell (RVC) of 3D four-directional braided composites. A parametrical study is carried out to evaluate the influence of interfacial properties on the stress-strain curve and corresponding failure modes.
