Abstract: A numerical analysis model was established to study the progressive collapse behavior of composite stiffened panel with initial debonding defect. Three typical intralaminar damage modes including fiber failure, matrix failure and fiber-matrix shear failure were considered in the model. The user-defined material subroutine VUMAT was used to distinguish the in-plane failure types and to degrade the corresponding material properties. The Virtual Crack Closure Technique was applied to calculate the strain energy release rate of the interlaminar crack front and the onset of debond propagation was determined using the B-K mixed-mode criterion. The buckling and post-buckling processes up to collapse of the panel under compressive load were quasi-static solved by the explicit dynamic method. The reasonability and validity of the model were verified by the good agreement between the numerical analysis result and the literature′s experimental and numerical results, and the damage evolution processes and the progressive collapse behavior of the debonded panel were investigated in detail.
