This paper agglomerates an Internal State Variable (ISV) model for polymers (Bouvard et al., 2010, 2013) with damage evolution (Horstemeyer and Gokhale, 1999: Horstemeyer et al., 2000; Francis et al., 2014) into a multiphase ISV framework (Rajagopal and Tao, 1995; Bammann et al., 1996) that features a finite strain theoretical framework for Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites under various stress states, temperatures, strain rates, and history dependencies. In addition to the inelastic ISVs for the polymer matrix and interphase, new ISVs associated with the interaction between phases are introduced. A scalar damage variable is employed to capture the damage history of such material, which is a result of three damage modes: matrix cracking, fiber breakage, and deterioration of the fiber-matrix interface, and each damage model was well calibrated to the experimental data from Rolland et al., (2016). The constitutive model developed herein arises employing standard postulates of continuum mechanics with the kinematics, thermodynamics, and kinetics being internally consistent. |
