Abstrakt: This paper introduces a micromechanical model for predicting the behaviour of cross-ply carbon-fibre reinforced laminates. The model considers a finite fracture model in combination with classical lamination theory (CLT) to simulate both the micro- and macro-scale structural responses of a laminate. The microcracking fracture toughness of the cross-ply laminates is used to predict crack formation and propagation in the matrix of the transverse (90°) plies. The stiffness reduction due to transverse cracking is informed by the crack density. Laminate failure is assumed when the longitudinal (0°) plies exceed their failure strength. The model offers a sensible approximation for micro- and macro-scale structural responses of crossply laminates. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
