Progressive failure analysis of laminated composite structures

A methodology for progressive failure analysis is presented that is applicable to thin composite structures undergoing large deformations. The method is based on a nonlinear shell theory that accounts for geometric and material nonlinearities. An isoparametric, displacement-based finite element form...
