Analysis of compressive failure of layered materials by kink band broadening

Failure by steady state kink band broadening in uni-directional fibre composites or layered materials is analysed. An incremental scheme for calculation of kink band broadening stresses and lock-up conditions in the band for arbitrary material behaviour is presented. The method is illustrated by material data which are representative for polymer matrix composites for which experimental work exists.
