      abstract     = {Composites have been used for a long time in the history of
                      mankind. Already in the times of the pharaohs, clay and
                      straw were combined to build houses out of this material. In
                      general, composites are used to combine the positive
                      properties of the various components and produce materials
                      with extreme properties or properties tailored to the
                      application needs. Nowadays, composites made from a
                      combination of epoxy resin with glass fibers (so-called
                      glass fiber reinforced plastics or GFRPs) or carbon fibers
                      (so-called carbon fiber reinforced plastics or CFRPs) are
                      used primarily in lightweight construction. The latter offer
                      particularly high stiffness and strength combined with low
                      density, making them an ideal material for lightweight
                      construction applications. CFRPs are manufactured either
                      from layers of parallel fibers laid on top of each other in
                      different directions or from woven fabrics with different
                      weave structures, which are usually filled with an epoxy
                      resin. Due to the complex microstructure, even simple load
                      cases lead to complex stress states within the material. In
                      addition, CFRP exhibits brittle material failure with
                      significant scatter in material parameters, leading to high
                      factors of safety in applications. A more accurate
                      prediction of the material behavior, especially in the area
                      of material damage, would lead to a reduction of the safety
                      factors and thus to a better design of CFRP structures. This
                      cumulative dissertation aims to contribute to a better
                      understanding of the damage behavior of carbon fiber
                      reinforced plastics. It consists mainly of three previously
                      published scientific papers from the author and several
                      co-authors. The aim of the publications was the simulation
                      of the damage behavior of CFRPs both at the scale of the
                      components and at the microscopic scale of the laminates and
                      fabrics. Here, the material model used for brittle damage,
                      without considering plasticity, is similar for all three
                      publications. In the material model, gradient-extended (or
                      micromorph) damage is used to produce mesh size-independent
                      results.The dissertation begins with an introduction to
                      illuminate the research-relevant questions and to present
                      the current state of research. This is followed by the first
                      of a total of three scientific publications. Here, an
                      isotropic material model for large deformations was extended
                      by an anisotropic component in order to simulate the
                      material behavior of CFRP on a macroscopic level. Both the
                      isotropic and anisotropic portions were given their own
                      scalar damage variable to distinguish between damage to the
                      epoxy matrix (isotropic part) and damage to the carbon fiber
                      (anisotropic extension). A tension-compression asymmetry was
                      also introduced for both parts to account for the effect of
                      crack closure. In addition, an anisotropy was introduced in
                      the gradient term of the isotropic material part to account
                      for the direction dependence of the crack propagation.
                      Finally, the material parameters of the numerical model were
                      fitted to experimental results of unidirectional CFRP and
                      the performance of the material model was evaluated.In the
                      second publication, the material behavior of CFRP was
                      investigated on the microscale. Since a geometric
                      distinction between fiber and matrix is possible on the
                      microscale, only the isotropic part of the previously
                      implemented material model was used. The aim of the
                      publication was to develop a new homogenization approach
                      with and without consideration of the interface between
                      epoxy matrix and carbon fiber. The homogenization approach
                      was based on the so-called failure zone averaging and aimed
                      at deriving a material behavior for the next larger scale
                      from simulations of the microscale. The approach took into
                      account the energetic components from both the mechanical
                      part of the model and the micromorphic extension. An
                      examination of the power components showed that the
                      micromorphic power is non-zero in the case of failure zone
                      averaging, and even shows power peaks that exceed those of
                      the mechanical power. However, in terms of the total energy
                      dissipated in the system, it was shown that the energy
                      dissipated by the micromorphic components is negligible. The
                      publication concluded with simulations that included the
                      interface between fiber and matrix. Here, a generally
                      reduced strength with simultaneously increased dissipated
                      energy was observed. In the last publication, the previously
                      presented homogenization method was applied to the load
                      cases of simple shear, pure shear and mixed mode loading. It
                      was shown that different load-deformation curves formed
                      depending on the type of load, the geometry and whether the
                      tension-compression asymmetry is activated. In particular,
                      the orientation of the failure zone had a significant
                      influence here. The publication again concluded with
                      simulations that took into account the interface between
                      fiber and matrix. Here, as before, an increased dissipation
                      with simultaneously reduced strength was shown.The
                      dissertation concludes with an outlook on research-relevant
                      questions arising from the results of the three published
                      papers for future work in this area of research.},
