Abstract

Damage modeling and failure analysis are studied to predict the failure properties and failure evolution of glass fiber-reinforced composite pipe. Abaqus (version 6.14-5) commercial software was used in order to perform the progressive failure analysis of composite pipe based on continuum damage mechanics approach with stiffness and strength degradation. Failure analysis is implemented using Hashin failure criteria to predict damage initiation and fracture energy-based damage evolution for the composite laminates. Moreover, the numerical convergence problem is solved by using the viscous regularization model. Alternatively, the progressive damage model is numerically implemented by defining the user-defined material (UMAT) subroutine in Abaqus/CAE standard. The damage model considers four failure modes such as fiber tensile, fiber compressive, matrix tensile, and matrix compressive viscous damage variables. The failure evolutions such as failure initiation, under failure, and ultimate failure are discussed. Verification of UMAT subroutine and numerical simulations of built-in material damage model in Abaqus are considered. In addition, the comparison between the predicted failure pressure of composite laminates with the experimental finding is made. The results with good agreement are achieved.
