[en] Thin walled composite structures made of laminates with stacks of plies including
continuous fibres (like UD or fabrics) are used in aircrafts, wind turbines, naval and
automotive applications. In order to propose predictive finite element simulation tools
that are necessary to speed-up the time to market of new products, it is important to use
material models that can accurately represent different failure modes at the ply level of
a laminated composite structure. Additionally, damage at the ply interfaces, that is
delamination, must also be taken into account in the model. Modelling progressive
damage up to failure in laminated composite material is clearly a very difficult task.
