Abstract
The current research assesses the consequences of various damages (crack and delamination) and high strain loading conditions on the fiber-reinforced composite structure's elasto-plastic stress–strain (EPSS) characteristics. The constitutive responses are obtained numerically (finite element discretization) using higher-order polynomials with the help of the matlab platform. The EPSS responses are evaluated via the modified Ludwik equation and Cowper Symonds model under high strain rate loadings. The model accuracy has been tested by comparing the present numerical and the published experimental data available in the open domain. Furthermore, various numerical examples present the effect of damages (debond and/or crack), forces, and stress–strain characteristics for a wide range of strain rates (ranging from 0.001 s−1 to 50 s−1). The stochastic constitutive model is obtained to show the importance of modeling and the corresponding analysis parameters, including uncertainty quantification. Finally, a detailed understanding of the damages and geometries on the polymeric composite structure are enumerated via the delve model for the futuristic design.
