Fiber reinforced composites are quickly replacing their metal counterparts in the structural
applications due to their higher specific strength and stiffness. The fiber bridging increases …

A systematic investigation was carried out in this work to evaluate the effect of seawater
ageing on the mechanical properties of different composites manufactured with three types …

Fiber bridging has a significant influence on the delamination propagation behavior in
multidirectional composite laminates. Traditional pure mode I bilinear cohesive zone models …

R-curve and traction-separation relation are commonly used to characterize the fiber
bridging, which is significant toughening mechanism in composite laminates. Current …

This paper proposes a three-linear cohesive zone model (CZM) to capture the mode I
delamination initiation and propagation behavior of unidirectional DCB specimens under …

This paper aims to investigate the temperature dependency of fiber bridging in mode I
delamination of unidirectional laminates. Double cantilever beam tests under temperatures …

Most existing mixed-mode I/II delamination growth criteria are purely empirical or semi-
empirical fitting functions of the experimental fracture toughness, which limit their wide range …

Large-scale fiber bridging developed in the CRFP multidirectional (MD) laminates upon
mixed-mode I/II fracture has a significant effect on the delamination behavior. Without …

Additive manufacturing for continuous fiber composite exhibits great potential for the
fabrication of sophisticated structural components. Nevertheless, interlaminar characteristics …

Despite decades of development, the delamination damage of multidirectional laminates still
accounts for a considerable proportion of the failure problems encountered in the actual …
