A novel mode-dependent and probabilistic semi-discrete damage model for progressive failure analysis of composite laminates - Part II: Applications to unnotched and open-hole tensile specimens

A new method is introduced in part I of this two-part paper [1] to model the progressive failure of composite laminates. In this second part, the method is applied to unnotched (UNT) and open hole tensile (OHT) specimens. With semi-discrete meshing features and a randomized material distribution, th...
