Summary: This study investigates the acoustic emission induced by transverse cracking in carbon fiber/epoxy matrix composite laminates through experimental and numerical analysis. The influence of sensor type, specimen thickness, and ply stacking sequence is examined. The study reveals that the frequency content corresponding to the same damage mechanism varies significantly depending on the sensor and stacking sequence. However, the frequency centroid is not solely dependent on the ply thickness except for inner ply cracking. Outer ply cracking exhibits low-frequency signals that are not greatly influenced by the ply thickness, while inner ply cracking shows higher frequency content that is more dependent on the ply thickness. Experimental frequency peaks and centroids are well captured by numerical simulations for different ply thicknesses.

Summary: Understanding the failure process of brittle rocks at both macroscopic and microscopic levels is important for predicting their strength and deformation characteristics. However, studying the evolution of microcracks in these rocks is challenging due to their heterogeneity. In this study, a multiscale grain-based model was developed based on FDEM to simulate the behavior of brittle rocks at the grain scale. The model considered the actual grain size, inter-grain and intra-grain contacts, as well as local polycrystal inclusions and internal cleavage. Simulated tests, including uniaxial tensile and compression tests, were conducted based on laboratory data. The results showed that the transgranular fracture capacity played a crucial role in mesoscopic fracture simulation, and the difference in inter-grain and intra-grain tensile strength controlled the failure mechanism of rock samples under uniaxial compression. The ability of minerals to absorb elastic strain energy significantly influenced the path of microcracks and the transition from tension to shear failure mechanisms. The findings of this study provide insights into the microcrack evolution mechanism in heterogeneous rocks and a method for comprehensive analysis of crack propagation and energy evolution.

Summary: This paper focuses on the numerical implementation of phase-field models of fracture using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) based numerical method. The choice of regularization length in phase-field models is important for both macroscopic mechanical behavior and local crack propagation patterns. Wu's phase-field model has been successful in reducing length sensitivity for homogeneous materials, and it has also been found to be more suitable than Miehe's model for brittle failure with the introduction of an elastic stage. The sensitivity of Wu's model for heterogeneous materials has also been investigated in this study.

Summary: Tensile testing of unidirectional composites often results in premature failure in the end tab region. This study investigates different conventional and novel designs to find the method that minimizes geometric discontinuity and maximizes failure strain. Finite element models are used to predict stress concentrations and optimize the geometry of the end tabs. Experimental results show that specimens with novel arrow-shaped tabs and continuous tabs yield the highest failure strain, avoiding premature failure effectively.
