Zheng, T. (author), Guo, Licheng (author), Wang, Zhenxin (author), Benedictus, R. (author), Pascoe, J.A. (author)In this paper, a reliable progressive fatigue damage model (PFDM) for predicting the fatigue life of composite laminates is proposed by combining the normalized fatigue life model, nonlinear residual degradation models and fatigue-improved Puck criterion. To balance the accuracy of life predictions and computational efficiency, an adaptive...journal article 2022

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
