Abstract

A short overview of different locking mechanisms is presented, in which the more recent locking phenomenon tension locking is placed. Tension locking is found during composite forming simulations and occurs when the element edges are unaligned with the fiber directions. Discontinuities in composite forming simulations show similarities with other weak discontinuities such as material interfaces and shear bands found during shear localization. Two enrichment strategies are explored to resolve tension locking in linear triangular elements.
