Lu, X. (author), Ridha, M. (author), Chen, B. Y. (author), Tan, V. B.C. (author), Tay, T. E. (author)The cohesive element (CE) has been widely used to model delamination in laminated composites. The penalty stiffness, interfacial strength and fracture toughness are three CE parameters that often determine the accuracy of the numerical analysis by finite elements (FEs). The fracture toughness may be experimentally determined through standard...journal article 2019

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
