Abstract:Finite element method (FEM) using cohesive element is developed to predict delamination buckling and growth behavior in laminated composites with coexisting delaminations under compressive loading. It is shown that the buckling behavior of coexisting delaminations is far more complicated than single embedded delamination. In the course of delamination buckling and growth, a parametric study was carried out to investigate the influence of the distance between coexisting delaminations, delamination size and dept… Show more
