... and damage accumulation due to straining. On the other hand, in the perspective of impulsive loading, the prominent failure mechanism is adiabatic shear band (ASB), which represents a localized shear deformation mode triggered by thermomechanical instability at local defect or material inhomogeneity [( 9 10...

In particular, the identification of mechanical and thermal contributions to cyclic softening can be useful when studying fatigue failure mechanisms of these materials. Knowledge of cyclic curve can help when developing constitutive model...

...), only the width is different and equal to 10 mm. Although the stacking sequence is the same, the failure mechanism is different in this case, but the same procedure as used before will permit us to monitor damage progression. The first matrix cracking appears in the first 90 deg ply from the bottom...

The ASB trajectories are shown to follow a multistage history and complex distribution pattern leading finally to plugging failure mechanism. The corresponding analysis and related parametric study are intended...
