Failure process of composite laminate under quasi-static or fatigue loading involves
sequential accumulation of intra-and interlaminar damage. Matrix cracking parallel to the …

This paper treats the problem of elastic response of composite laminates containing matrix
cracks in plies of multiple orientations. The approach taken has been described as …

This paper presents a synergistic methodology to analyze damage behavior in composite
laminates with transverse matrix cracks in plies of multiple orientations. The approach …

Matrix cracks parallel to the fibres in the off-axis plies is the first intralaminar damage mode
observed in laminated composites subjected to static or fatigue in-plane tensile loading …

Composites ability to retain functionality in the presence of damage is a crucial safety and
economic issue. Generally the first damage mode in composite laminates is matrix cracking …

In this paper, local delaminations growing uniformly from the tips of angle-ply matrix cracks
in composite laminates loaded in tension are modelled theoretically. A 2-D shear lag …

This is a contribution to the exercise that aims to benchmark and validate the current
continuum damage and fracture mechanics methodologies used for predicting the …

Flexural tests were performed to investigate the effects of long-term natural aging on flexural
stiffness and strength properties of E-glass-fiber-reinforced vinyl ester (GFRV) filament …

A displacement-based variational model is developed to study the effects of transverse
cracking and local delaminations in symmetric composite laminates. In the model, the crack …

The fracture process of composite laminates subjected to static or fatigue tensile loading
involves sequential accumulation of intra-and interlaminar damage, in the form of transverse …
