Abstract
 

Failure prediction of composite material is critical for the design of composite materials and structures. One approach to determine the failure values of a composite material is expressed in the micro scale level failure criteria consider the local elastic fields of the fiber and matrix constituents such as strain invariant failure theory (SIFT).

The Parametric HFGMC (with element degradation using SIFT criterion) is adopted for the prediction of failure envelopes in composites. In the framework of this method, a repeating unit cell (RUC) is identified and divided into subcells between which continuity of displacements and tractions are imposed in average sense. The results from the Parametric HFGMC are compared to experimental results.
