Modeling of Damage Evolution in Soft-Wood Perpendicular to Grain by means of a Discrete Element Approach
Falk K. Wittel, Gerhard Dill-Langer, Bernd-H. Kroeplin
The anisotropy of wood within the radial-tangential (RT) growth plane has a major influence on the cracking behavior perpendicular to grain. Within the scope of this work, a two-di…
Combined Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Progressive Failure of Composites
H. Matthias Deuschle, Falk K. Wittel, Henry Gerhard +2
The combination of Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation and experimental photo-elasticity provides both qualitative and quantitative information about the stress field in a polym…
A study of transverse ply cracking using a discrete element method
Falk K. Wittel, Ferenc Kun, Bernd-H. Kroeplin +1
We study the transverse cracking of the 90 degree ply in [0/90] cross-ply laminates by means of a discrete element method. To model the 90 degree ply a two-dimensional triangular l…
