    Analysis of delamination of composite laminates through the XFEM based on the Layerwise displacement theory
    (2018-10-11) Santos, Matheus Vilar Mota
    Composite laminates are being more employed as fundamental structures due to its low weight and high stiffness. An example of this innovation is the primary structures of modern aircraft, which are lighter than the material formerly used. To predict the material response as load gradually increases can be quite demanding due to composite\'s complex failure mechanism. Hence superior computational models should be further investigated to precisely predict the mechanical behavior of composite media. This dissertation addresses an extended finite element procedure based on the layerwise displacement theory to simulate purely mode I delamination failure in composite laminates. The present model has the potential to perform structural analyzes in a pre-delaminated structure and also considering progressive failure. The type of element to be employed at the discretion of the model is the rectangular 4-node iso-parametric homogeneous element whose displacement field is approximated based in the layerwise theory. There are four types of degrees of freedom, one displacement in each direction, and one degree of freedom associated to the strong discontinuity. Numerical examples already solved in the bibliography are suggested in this dissertation, which demonstrate the potential of the model developed to accurately simulate pure mode I delamination in case of the investigation here is further elaborated. In addition, one possibility of future development of this dissertation is the modeling of fracture mode I without the need to discretize the cohesive planes as realized in traditional Cohesive Zone Methods.
