Evaluation of damage-based material models for carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composite laminate under mixed-mode bending

Composite structures present high strength, low weight and design flexibility in terms of fiber orientation and number of plies and used vastly in advanced and modern applications. Among them, carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites (CFRP) are used widely in aeronautic and automotive industries i...
