An enhanced mesomodel for laminates based on micromechanics

An enhanced version of the damage mesomodel for laminates (DML), which has been developed over the last 15 years at Cachan, is introduced in the light of the extensive work- both theoretical and experimental- in micromechanics. The new mesomodel is fully compatible with classical micromechanics models. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
