Sumario:In the present work, damage propagation in thermoplastic composite laminates subjected to quasi-static tensile loading was numerically simulated using different damage models. The simulation was performed using the commercial finite element suite LS-Dyna, where various material models were evaluated based on their ability to simulate the thermoplastic composite behavior. More specifically, material models based on Tsai-Wu failure criteria (MAT_055), progressive damage modeling (MAT_162), micromechanical material modeling (MAT_215) and continuum damage modeling (MAT_261) were implemented, comparing the output failure strength and load – displacement curve with experimental data available in the literature. The approach of damage evolution and failure type for each model was taken under consideration as well. Overall, the progressive damage model (MAT_162) presented the most accurate prediction of the material’s failure behavior.
