Assessment of mesh dependency in the numerical simulation of compact tension tests for orthotropic materials

This paper presents a numerical study on the mesh dependency of the Hashin Damage Model for 2D finite element simulations of orthotropic materials. The main objective is to study and assess the efficiency of energy regularization in preventing mesh dependency in orthotropic damage models. Initially,...
