Abstract:The chapter reviews some aspects of the broad and complex problem of delamination in composites. The focus is put on computational models for delamination predictions in the framework of a damage tolerance design. Both delamination initiation and its propagation under quasi‐static and cyclic loading are addressed, and their simulation by means of the Finite Element Method (FEM) is discussed. However, dynamic delamination propagation under impact loads, as well as the prediction of the effect of delamination on… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
