This project is focused on developing an experimental framework for characterizing non-associative plasticity flow rule coefficients through coupon-scale tests for the LS-DYNA MAT213 model. The main objective is to characterize these coefficients based on the multi-scale (i.e., both microscopic and macroscopic) full-field measurement of the evolution of strain and stress fields. This paper focuses on presenting the experimental work on characterizing the full-scale stress-strain curves of T700/LM-PAEK composites under tension, compression, and shear loads. The experimental data set was intended to build a deformation sub-model in the MAT213 model for the material. The strain data were collected using both microscopic and macroscopic digital image correlation techniques. The microscopic technique was particularly useful for fracture cases under small strains. A preliminary simulation result obtained from the MAT213 model is also presented in the paper. The experimental framework herein will be extended to characterize post-peak stress degradation in the composite material and to develop a damage sub-model for the material. This project will contribute to developing a simulation tool based on the MAT213 model for simulating the rate-dependent impact damages in composites under multi-axial loading.
