Yao, Liaojun (author), Cui, Hao (author), Sun, Yi (author), Guo, Licheng (author), Chen, Xiangming (author), Zhao, Meiying (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author)The influence of fibre bridging on delamination failure in multidirectional composite laminates with different thickness scales is characterized, and the dependence of fibre bridging significance on laminate thickness as well as loading regime is investigated in this paper. Both quasi-static and fatigue resistance curves (R-curve) are...journal article 2018

Yao, L. (author), Cui, Hao (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Sun, Yi (author), Guo, Licheng (author)This paper provides an investigation on thickness effects on fibre-bridged fatigue delamination growth (FDG) in composite laminates. A modified Paris relation was employed to interpret experimental fatigue data. The results clearly demonstrated that both thickness and fibre bridging had negligible effects on FDG behaviors. Both energy...journal article 2018

Yao, Liaojun (author), Sun, Yi (author), Guo, Licheng (author), Lyu, Xiuqi (author), Zhao, Meiying (author), Jia, Liyong (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)Fatigue delamination in multidirectional composite laminates was experimentally investigated in present study. Both the Paris relation and a modified Paris relation (with a new similitude parameter) were employed to interpret fatigue delamination with significant fibre bridging. The results clearly demonstrated that fatigue delamination was...journal article 2018

Yao, L. (author), Sun, Y. (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author), Zhao, M (author)Fibre bridging can significantly enhance delamination resistance making the use of a single Paris resistance curve to determine fatigue crack growth insufficient. An empirical Paris-type relation has been developed in a previous study to take fibre bridging into account in fatigue delamination growth. This relation was developed by correlating...journal article 2017

Yao, L. (author), Sun, Y. (author), Zhao, M (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Benedictus, R. (author)This paper aims to investigate stress ratio effect on fibre bridging significance in mode I fatigue delamination growth of composite materials. Fatigue resistance curves (R-curves) of different stress ratios are determined and compared with the quasi-static R-curve. The fatigue R-curve of a high stress ratio is similar to the quasi-static...journal article 2017
