Application of discrete damage mechanics for determination of the crack density in composite laminates

The finite element method (FEM) is one of the most widely and most popular numerical methods for analyzing damage of composite structures, In this paper discrete damage mechanics (DDM) is used to predict inter-laminar transverse and shear damage initiation and evolution in terms of the fracture toug...
