Analysis of delamination in laminates with angle-ply matrix cracks
Onset of damage and residual stiffness properties
Abstract
The failure process of composite laminate under quasi-static or fatigue loading involves sequential accumulation of intra- and interlaminar cracking. Matrix cracking parallel to the fibres in the off-axis plies is the first damage mode observed. It triggers development of other harmful resin-dominated modes such as delaminations. In this chapter, analytical modelling of crack-induced delaminations in composite laminates subjected to general in-plane loading is presented and discussed. A two-dimensional ...
