Fatigue delamination growth (FDG) is an important failure in composite structures during their long-term operations. Hygrothermal aging can have significant effects on interlaminar resistance. It is therefore really necessary to explore FDG behavior in composite laminates with hygrothermal aging. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA),...

Numerical methods for delamination analysis, such as the cohesive zone method, require fracture energy as an essential input. Existing formulations rely on a phenomenological relationship that links fracture energy to the mode of fracture based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). However, doubts exist about the applicability of LEFM....

Fibre reinforced polymer composites have found increasing use in aircraft structures. This means that fleet managers need damage assessment tools for such materials, in order to decide on appropriate sustainment strategies. Developing such tools is hindered by the difficulty of generalising from lab tests to predict the behaviour of full-scale...

Impacts on carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRP) can produce a complex internal damage comprising multiple delaminations, which is hard to detect from visual inspection. This situation is known as barely visible impact damage (BVID). Considering that every airplane faces several impacts during its operational life, and that the majority of...

The complex failure mechanisms involved in failure of interfaces requires the use of an accurate description of the cohesive law. In recent years, there have been many developments to determine the full shape of the cohesive law. However, most of the existing cohesive zone models assume a simplified shape, such as bilinear, trapezoidal or...

Damages to aircraft fuselages by ice impactors are categorized as barely visible impact damage (BVID). As the application of composite laminates in manufacturing aircraft fuselage is increasing rapidly, studying hail impact on composite laminates seems crucial. Investigation of variation of delamination area and link-up area for different...

In previous literature, a plateau phase in fatigue growth of impact delamination projected area in CFRP was found. Explaining this plateau phase still represents a knowledge gap. In the present work, echo-pulse and through thickness transmission ultrasonic scan inspections were combined with acoustic emission monitoring to explain this...

Carbon-fibre reinforced composites are susceptible to delamination. Fibre bridging is an important shielding mechanism frequently observed in delamination. The presence of these bridging fibres can significantly increase interlaminar resistance, making it critical to represent this phenomenon for delamination characterization in composite...

Distributed Optical Fiber Sensors (DOFS) show several inherent benefits with respect to conventional strain-sensing technologies and represent a key technology for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Despite the solid motivation behind DOFS-based SHM systems, their implementation for real-time structural assessment is still unsatisfactory...

This study aims at better understanding the damage tolerance of stiffened composite panels subjected to fatigue loads in the post-buckling regime. Ten single-stringer hat-stiffened specimens with an initial delamination between the skin and the stringer foot were manufactured, and then tested under quasi-static and fatigue loads in post...

Fatigue damage of composite laminates has attracted considerable attention from research community and industry, in view that laminated structures are inevitable to suffer from fatigue loading during their service life. It is rather complicated to understand and explain, what governs the initiation, accumulation, interaction (synergy or...

Delamination growth in fibre reinforced polymer composites is generally evaluated with experiments that have been standardized for quasi-static load conditions. These tests characterize unidirectional delamination growth in mode I (DCB), mode II (ELS or ENF) of mixed mode conditions (MMB). However, little attention is paid in literature to the...

The present work aims at investigating the progressive damage accumulation process of CFRP laminates in an interactive scheme, with a special focus on the early fatigue life where mainly matrix-dominant damage accumulates and stiffness degrades significantly. An in-situ damage monitoring system, containing edge observation, digital image...

Ply-block size and stress level effect on accumulation of transverse cracks and delamination are investigated during early fatigue life of CFRP laminates. Tension-tension fatigue tests under different stress levels were performed for two cross-ply configurations. Edge observation with digital cameras, digital image correlation and acoustic...

A novel efficient numerical formulation for the analysis of multiple fatigue-driven delamination cracks is presented. A cohesive zone model is used in combination with an Adaptive Refinement Scheme (ARS) and an Adaptive Floating Node Method (A-FNM) element that refine the model effectively during the analysis. Novel techniques are proposed to...

The focus of this study is to characterize delamination using static and dynamic tests and to assess the interface failure mechanism of an innovative hybrid concrete beam, made out of conventional concrete and a special class of fibre reinforced material, known as Strain Hardening Cementitious Composite (SHCC). Three SHCC beams were subject to...

Structural delamination in mural paintings is a complex phenomenon and is considered among the most frequent types of damage. In conservation practice, the most common technique to identify structural detachments is the percussion method. Full-field optical techniques based on interferometry, such as shearography, can provide a more...

In general, packaging materials which encapsulate light emitting diodes (LEDs) and microelectronic devices offer barrier protection against several environmental hazards such as water and ionic contaminants. However, these encapsulants may provide pathways for water and ionic contaminants to reach the metal/polymer interfaces and provoke local...
