Code underlying the MSc. thesis: Limiting microcracks and hydrogen permeability in thermoplastic composites for LH2 storage

As part of an MSc thesis there is researched how microcracking and hydrogen permeability for thermoplastic composites under tensile loading at deep cryogenic conditions can be limited to a predefined level in order to fulfill the requirements for long-life, vacuum-insulated composite liquid hydrogen tanks for civil aviation. As part of this research, there is made use of this XFEM-SCZM model that simulates the materials' mechanical behaviour by creating matrix cracks and delamination. It does so by using Python scripting for Abaqus.
