href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.istruc.2022.05.064\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> research<\/a> the novel approach using FEA was conducted using a progressive damage model (PDM) -which was executed by using the implicit user material (UMAT), explicit user material (VUMAT), the extended finite element method (XFEM) subroutines completed by a microscale model of crack propagation that was implemented using a representative volume element (RVE) algorithm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results from the predictions agreed very well with experimental results from mechanical testing and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, using a blended approach for FEA simulation, namely by combining the PDM and RVE with XFEM subroutines, could be a step forward in simulating the intralaminar crack propagation phenomenon in order to gain deeper insights into the micro-macro failure mechanism.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers have developed a practical way of studying the intralaminar crack propagation of unidirectional fiber-reinforced polymer
