Lu, X. (author), Chen, B. Y. (author), Tan, V. B.C. (author), Tay, T. E. (author)The interaction between matrix cracks and interface delamination is a major failure mechanism in composite laminates and has been a subject of active research in recent years. Although coupled failure behaviour of composite laminates between matrix cracks and delamination has been observed in experiments, accurate modelling of this phenomenon...conference paper 2020

Kocaman, E.S. (author), Chen, B. Y. (author), Pinho, S. T. (author)This paper presents a new polymorphic element modelling approach for multi-scale simulation, with an application to fracture in composite structures. We propose the concept of polymorphic elements; these are elements that exist as an evolving superposition of various states, each representing the relevant physics with the required level of...journal article 2019
