Abstract
A three dimensional (3D) progressive damage model (PDM) is developed for the failure assessment of fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) composite bolted joints subjected to bolt preloads. Material constitutive equations and material damage model are defined in a user-subroutine UMAT which is integrated with the finite element (FE) software ABAQUS. Fibre and matrix failure in tension, compression or in shear along with delamination failure criteria are...
