Infusion processing methods have become a popular manufacturing alternative to the
autoclave procedure to meet the increased demand for high-performance composites with …

Delamination is a major failure mode in laminated composites and has received much
research attention. A huge amount of literature has been published on this subject, resulting …

The principal aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive literature survey on the
defects, like debonds/delamination in composite joints/structures, focusing on the effect of …

An efficient numerical approach for the prediction of the Compression After Impact (CAI)
strength of aerospace-grade CFRP laminates when exposed to Barely Visible Impact …

The instability of structures due to compression is one of the most critical issues related to
aircraft components. Especially in composite materials, which have poor out-of-plane …

Abstract A Layerwise Higher Order Shear Deformation Theory is developed for plates
containing rectangular embedded delaminations undergoing non negligible lateral …

Relative to static conditions, fatigue damage prediction of delaminated composites is widely
recognized as a much more challenging problem, due to the gradually considerable …

Laminated carbon fibre reinforced composite materials are very susceptible to delamination,
which is one of the most serious failure modes in composite laminates. According to the …

Delamination is one of the most serious failure modes in carbon fiber reinforced composite
laminates, because it can reduce the overall stiffness, which further leads to premature …

An improved and efficient analytical solution is proposed to predict the behaviour and the
ultimate strength of composite laminates containing delamination. For this purpose, a …
