Carbon fibre reinforced thermoset polymer composites (CFRTS) have been widely used in engineering structures owing to its high specific strength and stiffness. However, this results in substantial amounts of waste as thermoset polymers cannot be recycled. On the other hand, carbon fibre reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTP) have been considered as a potential alternative due to their recyclability. However, the behaviour of CFRTPs is more complicated due to the presence of various mechanisms, namely plasticity, damage (ply damage and delamination) and material reorientation due to extensive deformation [1]. This can be seen in its highly non-linear response in the tensile behaviour of angle-ply laminates. While CFRTS angle-ply laminates has been studied [2], no such study has been conducted for CFRTPs. To address the gap, this works aims to study tensile behaviour of angle-ply CFRTP and build a model that can capture the main mechanisms mentioned above. A combined model has been developed to further study the response of CFRTP. The model uses Hill’s yield criterion for the anisotropic plastic behaviour. Due to the linear stress – strain curve for unidirectional 0° laminate, it is assumed that CFRTP is elastic along the fibre direction, while its plastic behaviour in the transverse direction is expressed by strain hardening rule from the experiments. Moreover, updated fibre angle is calculated from initial fibre angle and deformation gradient. Preliminary work of the plasticity and fibre reorientation model shows good agreement with experimental data up to a certain strain. However, the simulation deviates from experimental curve at higher loading strain. The work will be extended by adding damage in the model. Fibre damage is captured by a smeared crack model; while matrix damage is pre-defined in each ply by a band of cohesive elements along fibre direction. Cohesive elements are also inserted between adjacent plies to model delamination.
