Fibre-reinforced polymer(frp)

Fracture mechanics in ABAQUS

Submitted by Dipak Rakshit on

I am new in this forum.I am trying to model Fibre reinfored Polymer

fracture in ABAQUS . But, In website I could not find any example for

that.I have done fracture model for isotropic material such as

Alluminium using Contour Integral.But, for this FRP I am being unable to

model   it.What should be my consideration (different from isotropic)

using this contour integral.I want a tensile matrix cracking or

matrix-fibre interface cracking or fibre cracking. Please help me in

this regard.
