...–Needleman model. The simulations show a distinct slip band forming at about 55 deg with respect to the notch line corresponding to slip on ( 1 1 ¯ 1 ) [ 011 ] system, which corroborates well with experimental data. Furthermore, two kink bands occur at about 45 deg and 90 deg with respect to the notch line...

... which caused the failure to occur in only one place in the specimen, and also because the observed failure mode was kink band propagation, previously shown to cause energetic size effect. Various fallacies in previous applications of Weibull theory to composites are also pointed out. Allen , H...

... cracking within tows, kink band failure in compression, tensile tow rupture, and shear failure. For the highest order representations (infinitely dense meshes), the generalized formulation of the Binary Model necessarily approaches conventional finite element meshing strategies for textile composites...
