The interface between fibre and matrix of fibrous polymeric composites is most critical and
decisive in maintaining sustainability, durability and also reliability of this potential material …

Abstract Poly-ether-ketone-ketone (PEKK) is an emerging alternative to poly-ether-ether-
ketone (PEEK) as a matrix for high-performance carbon fibre (CF) reinforced composites …

This paper presents a comprehensive review of the current state-of-the-art computational
modeling techniques for predicting debonding processes and interface failures in fiber …

The plane strain problem of a single circular cylindrical inclusion embedded in an
unbounded matrix subjected to a remote uniform uniaxial transverse tension is studied. A …

This paper presents a consistent anisotropic damage model for laminated fiber-reinforced
composites relying on the 3D-version of the Puck failure criterion. The current model is …

The behavior of the fiber–matrix interface under transverse tension is studied by means of a
new linear elastic–brittle interface model. Similar models, also called weak or imperfect …

The nature of failure in long fiber-reinforced composites is strongly affected by damage at
the micro-scale. The presence of different phases at different length scales leads to a …

The problem of fiber–matrix debonding due to transverse loading is revisited. Predictions of
the critical load for the debond onset obtained by a Cohesive Zone Model combined with …

The finite element model of progressive debonding in fiber reinforced composite is
developed based on the cohesive-zone model of interface. An interface crack nucleation …

The energy release rate (ERR) of a fiber–matrix debond crack in a unidirectional composite
subjected to transverse tension is studied numerically. The focus of the study is the effect of …
