Dekker, R. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Maljaars, J. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)This study presents calibration and validation of a cohesive extended finite element model for fatigue crack propagation in ductile materials. The approach relies on a separation between plasticity around the crack tip and fatigue crack growth at the crack tip such that the influence of plasticity on fatigue driving forces is predicted. This...journal article 2021

Liu, Y. (author), van der Meer, F.P. (author), Sluys, Lambertus J. (author)The mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness of composite laminates under different loading rates can be measured by the double cantilever beam (DCB) test. It is observed from the DCB test of a unidirectional PEEK/carbon composite laminate that as the loading rate increases from quasi-static to dynamic range: (1) delamination crack growth...journal article 2018
