On constitutive modelling of fibre-reinforced composite materials

A relatively simple but comprehensive constitutive model is presented herein for predicting the nonlinear behaviour of laminated composite structures comprising layers of unidirectional and/or bidirectional (e.g. woven) fibre-reinforced materials (FRMs). The FRM layer is treated as an orthotropic bu...
