Abstract

This paper describes the research performed within the scope of H2020 project FIBRE4YARD in the development of a suitable thermo-mechanical framework to analyse composite structures under fire loads. The thermo-mechanical model uses the adiabatic temperature to obtain the through-thickness distribution of temperature of the triangular shell element, this formulation is able to predict phenomena such as pyrolysis, thermo-mechanical yielding and large displacements (non-linear buckling). An application case of a load-bearing section of a container ship is shown to demonstrate the correctness of the methodology, two type of materials are considered in the analysis, traditional materials such steel and advanced materials like fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) composites.
