Zusammenfassung:This paper addresses the multi-scale modeling aspects of damage in composite materials. The multiplicity of the scales of the operating mechanisms is discussed and clarified by taking examples of damage in a unidirectional ceramic matrix composite and in a cross ply polymer matrix composite laminate. Two multi-scale modeling strategies––the hierarchical and the synergistic––are reviewed in the context of deformational response. Finally, the “big picture” as it relates to the cost-effective manufacturing of composite structures intended for long-term performance is outlined and desired future direction in multi-scale modeling is discussed.
