Investigation on the effect of interface properties on compressive failure behavior of 3D woven composites through micromechanics-based multiscale damage model

In this paper, the effect of interface properties on the compressive failure behavior of 3D woven composites (3DWC) is investigated by incorporating a micromechanics-based multiscale damage model (MMDM). The correlation between the mesoscopic stress of yarns and microscopic stress of constituents is established by defining a stress...
