Composite laminate has extensive usage in the aerospace and automotive industries. Thus
delamination, one of its most prevalent and challenging failure modes, has attracted …

In this paper recent developments for mesolevel modeling of failure in composite laminates
are reviewed. The complexity of failure processes in composite laminates presses the need …

A conforming augmented finite element method (C-AFEM) is extended to predict the failure
process in inter-ply of fiber-reinforced composite laminates. Combining with cohesive zone …

This paper presents an augmentation method that enables bilinear finite elements to
efficiently and accurately account for arbitrary, multiple intra‐elemental discontinuities in 2D …

The present contribution is concerned with the incorporation of gradient-extended damage
into a reduced integration-based solid-shell finite element formulation. To this end, a purely …

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 …

Cohesive element (CE) is a well‐established finite element for fracture, widely used for the
modeling of delamination in composites. However, an extremely fine mesh is usually …

Interfacial debonding is one of the major failure patterns in composite structures. In this work,
a nodal-based extrinsic cohesive/contact model is proposed for the purpose of efficient and …

Curing conditions affect the mechanical properties of manufactured composite structures.
However, the effect of curing pressure on the delamination behavior of laminates is still lack …

This paper presents a new augmented finite element method (A-FEM) that can account for
path-arbitrary, multiple intraelemental discontinuities with a demonstrated improvement in …
