Summary
An original finite element technique to include fibres within laminated plates and
shells that does not increase the number of degrees of freedom is proposed and
tested for nonlinear dynamic analysis considering plasticity. This technique enables
the separate use of matrix and fibre mechanical properties naturally resulting in the
reinforced continuum behavior. The proposed finite element formulation is the total
Lagrangian, based on positions and generalized vectors, which implies constant
mass matrix allowing the use of the Newmark time integrator conserving energy in
elastic problems developing large displacements. The constitutive model of the
matrix material is elastoplastic and combines the Tsai-Wu and the Drucker-Prager
surfaces. This model enables the comparison of the proposed fibre inclusion
technique and the homogenization procedure. Selected examples are chosen to
validate the formulation and results are compared to reference values available in
literature.
