The fracture processes of the constant/variable stiffness composite laminate (CSCL/VSCL)
subjected to uni-axial tension is investigated using the phase-field method. The main …

A field-enriched finite element method for crack propagation in fiber-reinforced composite
lamina without remeshing is proposed. In the field-enriched finite element method, the …

Variable angle tow (VAT) composite laminates, in which fibre orientation varies spatially in-
plane in a continuous fashion yet is piecewise constant through-thickness, have been made …

This article addresses a study about the dynamic crack propagation in Variable Stiffness
Composite Laminates (VSCLs) under non-classic thermal shock considering Lord …

An interlaminar crack-jump event is one of the complex failure phenomena in laminated
composite structures. This paper examines the mechanics of the interlaminar damage …

This work aims at studying the mixed-mode delamination process in Moment-Loaded
Double Cantilever Beam (MLDCB) specimens. The delamination problem is addressed both …

Interlaminar fracture toughness is an important parameter to characterize the delamination
performance of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy laminates. In this study, the mode-I fracture …

In this paper, a study in the dynamic fracture assessment of Variable Angle Tow (VAT)
composite laminates is presented. An interaction integral, which includes extra terms to …

The SuperNEMO experiment is a new generation of experiments dedicated to the search for
neutrinoless double beta-decay, which if observed, would confirm the existence of physics …

Inter-laminar fracture toughness is an important parameter to characterize the delamination
propagation performance of composite laminates. Compared with the mode I fracture, the …
