INTRODUCTION Objective To identify an in-plane non-linear behaviour law for orthotropic composite materials • Usual technique : • Local strain measurements • Uniform stain/stress fields (closed-form solution) • Performing several mechanical tests • Unable to extract the coupling terms (tensoriel damage approach) • Novel Strategy Whole-Field Measurements( great amount of information) Heterogeneous stress fields Involves the whole set of material parameters Inverse problem (no closed-form solution)
FE models Updating Among the techniques: • Iterative process • Need to introduce initial values Principle of Virtual Work INTRODUCTION • How to link WFM to the identified parameters ? Novel strategy for in-plane orthotropic composites : The Virtual Fields Method (VFM) : Grédiac M. (1989) Whole-kinematic fields are processed • Principle : Global equilibrium of a structure

Damage Meso-modelling • Non linearity of the behaviour is assumed to be due mainly to damage. • Anisotropic Damage : Meso-model proposed by Ladevèze (1986) In-plane stress In the present work : only the in-plane shear damage is considered • damage evolution is modelled by a quadratic function of the shear strain dss = K/Qss . s2

IMPLEMENTATION • Actual strain fields : Experimental measurements using optical methods • ( grid method, ESPI, …) • In the present study, these are numerically simulated using FE analysis FE Implementation of the considered behaviour law development of a UMAT (ABAQUS) routine : Incremental stress estimation

FE inputs RESULTS UD : Glass /epoxy (M10) composite Linear shear response Non-linear shear response
RESULTS UD : Glass /epoxy (M10) composite Identification from Noisy Data Amplitude noise = b . Max(mean(|ex|), mean(|ey|), mean(|gs|)) = 5% = 10%
15000 elements L SENSITIVITY TO THE LENGTH UD : Glass /epoxy (M10) composite Increasing L : bending stresses increase Decreasing L : shear and transverse compression stresses increase Optimal L ?
L SENSITIVITY TO THE LENGTH Noisy strain fields UD : Glass /epoxy (M10) composite Mean values of 30 identifications
SENSITIVITY TO THE ORTHOTROPIC RATIO UD : Glass /epoxy (M10) composite (r = Qxx /Qyy = 2.5) UD : Carbon/epoxy (T300/914) r = 13.7 both materials L=30 mm
SENSITIVITY TO THE ORTHOTROPIC RATIO Identification from Noisy Data = 5% L=30 mm is probably not the optimal length for the T300/914
CONCLUSION • Capability of the VFM to process Whole-fields measurments • Identification of material parameters governing a damage model • VFM : less sensitive to the specimen length when the strain gradients • are well described (numerically or experimentally) • Interaction between specimen length and material orthotropic ratio • VFM : proved numerically robust and less sensitive to moderate noisy data
FURTHER WORK • Identification : Off-axis orthotropic behaviour Coupling terms (6 constants to be identified simultaneously) • Coupled damage model
