Abstract
The analysis concerned a thin-walled plate with a circular central hole made of CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer) material. The test object was subjected to a tensile test to investigate the cracking mechanism of the composite structure. The tests were performed using two independent test methods experimentally and numerically. In the experiment, the force was recorded as a function of elongation of the tensile plate and the elongation of the plate was investigated using an Aramis non-contact optical measurement system. As part of the numerical analysis, an FEM model adequate to the experimental conditions was performed in the Abaqus system. The fracture process was modeled using the extended finite element method XFEM. This approach enabled the structure of the composite to be investigated over the full range of tensile loading. The behaviour of the circular hole plate before the damage symptoms was investigated, the damage initiation force was determined, then the initial cracking and delamination of the layers were analysed, as well as the crack propagation process leading to the complete failure of the composite structure (cracking of all laminate layers).
