The NASA Advanced Composites Project is a multi-year consortium of government, industry and academia to develop and validate technology that will reduce development and certification of advanced composite materials for aircraft structures. One of its tasks is to simulate and predict composite damage progression accurately through high fidelity finite element models. It included a subtask to verify an approach based on the Virtual Crack Closure Technology (VCCT) as well as Floating Node Method (FNM). This paper discusses predicted damage onset and growth in a thin-ply buckling problem. Sensitivity of the simulations to various initial crack length is studied. The compressive load-displacement curves are plotted and the crack growth critical load is predicted. Overall, the crack progression follows simulation benchmarks well. However, the critical-load overshoot phenomenon is observed in both VCCT and FNM, suggesting further investigation may be worth pursuing.
