Composite material tanks are prone to microcracks at cryogenic temperature conditions.Accurately predicting the initiation and evolution of structural microcracks at cryogenic temperatures is crucial for the design and optimization of tank structures.An embedded multi-fiber representative volume element model was established to study the influence of cryogenic temperature conditions on the initiation and evolution of microcracks in composite laminates that considered the in-situ effect.This model was consisted of two 0° adjacent constraint layers and a 90° intermediate layer.Under transverse tensile loads and cryogenic temperature conditions,the microcrack initiation strain and tensile stress in the structure were obtained,and the initiation and evolution of microcracks were studied.The results show that cryogenic temperatures significantly influence the initiation location and evolution path of microcracks in structures. Microcracks are prone to occur in structures at cryogenic temperatures. The interface debonding is more likely to occur in regions with denser fiber arrangements at cryogenic temperatures. The thermal stress results in variations in microcrack initiation location between ordinary temperature and cryogenic temperature conditions. Notably,the structural damage evolution pattern in the intermediate layer remains consistent under both ordinary and cryogenic temperatures.
