In this paper, the delamination onset from transverse cracks in composite cross-ply
laminates under static loadings is thoroughly investigated. Initially, an analytical solution is …

Accurate prediction of stiffness degradation in the damaged plies (laminae) is a fundamental
requirement for develo** damage models for composite materials. In this study, a …

A comprehensive study was performed to assess the influence of microscopic ply crack
interactions on crack surface opening (COD) and sliding displacements (CSD) for arbitrary …

This paper studies the effect of interlaminar and intralaminar damage mechanisms on the
quasi-static indentation strength of composite laminates. To this aim, two carbon/epoxy …

A two-dimensional representative volume element model is developed to study the micro-
mechanics of matrix crack-induced delamination in cross-ply laminates under longitudinal …

Delamination is one of the main mechanisms involved in the fatigue damage evolution in
multidirectional laminates made of unidirectional plies. Typically, delamination is induced by …

The first damage mode in cross-ply laminates under tension is broadly accepted as
transverse cracks normal to the loading direction in the 90° layers, but there is not the same …

A computational constitutive model is presented to predict matrix cracking evolution in
laminates under in-plane loading. Transverse cracks are treated as separate discontinuities …

Experimental and variational investigation of the onset of matrix crack saturation and
induced delamination initiation are performed in laminates containing mid-ply matrix cracks …

In this study, the growth of induced delamination in off axes composite laminates has been
investigated. Glass-Epoxy composite laminates and Glass-Kevlar-Epoxy hybrid composite …
