This example simulates failure and damage in a FML containing a blunt notch subjected to quasi-static loading conditions. Cohesive elements are used to model the interlaminar delamination, and the ABAQUS damage model for fiber-reinforced materials is used to predict the behavior of the fiber-reinforced epoxy layer. In addition, the behavior of the fiber-reinforced epoxy layer is also described using user subroutine UMAT.
