An innovative procedure is proposed for the prediction of the crack density evolution in
multidirectional laminates subjected to cyclic loadings. The crack initiation and propagation …

To successfully predict the delamination behaviour of the laminated composite structures
with fibre bridging, the R-curve has to be studied. This work experimentally investigates the …

In order to characterise efficiently the honeycomb sandwich panels, the static behaviour
does not seem to be sufficient and additional information about fatigue data properties is …

The effect of delamination resistance on fatigue crack growth behavior of composite
laminates is studied. The strain energy release rate normalized to fatigue delamination …

In this paper, a non-Paris-law-based, unified fatigue cohesive zone model (CZM) that can
predict both fatigue crack initiation and propagation in composites with or without starter …

In this paper a two-dimensional fatigue cohesive zone model (CZM) for crack propagation in
composites under cyclic loading has been formulated and validated through successful …

It is really important to have a reliable model to represent fatigue delamination growth (FDG)
behavior for composite structural design and life evaluation with the wide applications of …

A new semi-empirical equation that describes the fatigue delamination growth in fibre
reinforced toughened epoxies is presented and validated against data available in the …

The purpose of this work is the study of the mechanical behaviour in 3-point bending, in
static and fatigue mode, of two different composite sandwiches laminate foam with …

A new phenomenological fatigue crack growth formulation for the modeling and the
prediction of the Mode I fatigue behavior of adhesively-bonded pultruded glass fiber …
