Complex nature of the fibre reinforced composites, their non-homogeneity and anisotropy make their modelling a challenging task. Although the linear – elastic behaviour of the composites is well understood, there is still a significant uncertainty regarding prediction of damage initiation, damage evolution and material failure especially for a general loading case characterised with triaxial state of stress or strain. Consequently, simplifying assumptions are often unavoidable in development of constitutive models capable of accurately predicting damage. The approach used in this work uses decomposition of the strain energy based on spectral decomposition of the material stiffness tensor and an assumption that each strain energy component r...
