This paper describes a systematic review on the propagation of translaminar damage in
FRP considering different specimen configurations, data reduction schemes, fracture …

Fatigue delamination damage is one of the most important fatigue failure modes for
laminated composite structures. However, there are still many challenging problems in the …

Spurious damage modes in continuum damage mechanics models for fiber-reinforced
polymer composite materials based on the effective stress tensor can be generated when …

The work presented in this paper investigates the ability of continuum damage models to
accurately predict matrix failure and ply splitting. Two continuum damage model approaches …

The failure of composite laminates under cyclic fatigue loads is complex, as multiple failure
mechanisms are in play at different scales and interact with each other. Predicting the …

The work is devoted to novel experimental equipment for in situ visualization of damage
development in the volume of CFRP under tensile. The acoustic microscope with long-focus …

In recent decades, several computational models have emerged at the mesoscale for
predicting the failure development and strength of composite materials. Nevertheless, the …

In this work, a recently proposed high-cycle fatigue cohesive zone model, which covers
crack initiation and propagation with limited input parameters, is embedded in a robust and …

Efficient yet reliable predictive modelling tools for damage tolerance analysis became an
aerospace industry requirement as composite materials provided the potential for design …

Nowadays, carbon fibre composites are increasingly being used in aircraft which, in turn,
has lead to carbon-metallic bolted assemblies. The large difference in the thermal …
