abstract = {This work presents the implementation of an advanced phenomenological failure model to perform ``hot-spot” failure analysis and predict the onset of intralaminar damage of fiber-reinforced polymers in large-scale models. The selected failure criteria identify the critical failure mode, accounting for general three-dimensional stress states, which is essential for the design and analysis of composite laminates under higher levels of triaxiality. Then, to represent the quasi-brittle behavior of composite materials up to ultimate strength, these failure criteria are coupled with a smeared crack model for transverse cracking and continuum damage mechanics models for fibre-dominated damage, which together account for the kinematics of matrix cracking and fibre tensile or compressive fracture during damage propagation. Furthermore, cohesive elements are used to predict delamination. A test case involving a stringer runout loaded in tension was selected for the validation of “hot-spot” analysis, while a series of scaled tests on unnotched specimens was used for the validation of the mesoscale model.},

abstract = {In order to fully exploit the benefits provided by using composite materials in large scale aerospace structures, more efficient detailed design optimisation techniques need to be developed. In the present work, the optimisation procedure is split up in one gradient-based step that yields an optimal thickness and stiffness distribution which is then matched by a following discrete optimisation step. The output structure meets prescribed design and manufacturing rules commonly applied in composite design, through the implementation of a novel Mixed Integer Linear Programming formulation of the problem. The results indicate the need for more efficient discretisation techniques .},
