Abstract

This paper aims to provide the building blocks for fatigue simulations on glass-fibre reinforced polymer (GRFP) coupons. To this end, 3D simulations of Multiple-Fibre (MF) unit cells consisting of 7 or 45 fibres are used, including the prediction of fibre failure. These simulations are part of a multi-scale simulation approach. The MF unit cells are used to represent the elements of a geometrically larger finite element model (so called Meso-Structure model or MS model). It is shown that the fatigue lives of the MS models with similar geometrical size but different meshing size are comparable, while the normalized axial Young's modulus degradation curves are different.
