Delamination is a major failure mode in laminated composites and has received much
research attention. A huge amount of literature has been published on this subject, resulting …

Developed from the author's course on advanced mechanics of composite materials, Finite
Element Analysis of Composite Materials with Abaqus® shows how powerful finite element …

Energy release rate and its mode partition in layered plates are analysed by using an
improved laminated plate model. The adhesion between layers is modelled by means of a …

Variable angle tow (VAT) composite laminates, in which fibre orientation varies spatially in-
plane in a continuous fashion yet is piecewise constant through-thickness, have been made …

The present paper deals with the macroscopic compressive failure of periodic elastic fiber
reinforced composites related to local buckling instabilities promoted by matrix or fiber/matrix …

Laminate composite materials such as CFRPs are highly susceptible to delamination, being
one of the common failure modes in composite laminates. The combination of severe …

An accurate laminate model developed by using multilayer shear deformable plate
modeling and interface elements, based on fracture mechanics and contact mechanics, is …

A model for analyzing mixed-mode delamination problems in laminated composite plates
under general loading conditions is studied. The first-order shear deformable laminated …

In the present study, experimental measurements and numerical solutions on the buckling of
single-delaminated glass-fiber composite laminates are carried out on rectangular plates …

A penalised interface model, whose strain energy is the penalty functional related to
interface adhesion constraint, is introduced in conjunction with a damageable interface …
