Impact damage in structures made out of composite materials is a major concern since such
damage can be introduced during the life of the structure, and its mechanical properties can …

抄録< jats: p> Composites are used extensively in engineering applications. A constant
concern is the effect of foreign object impacts on composite structures because significant …

The problem of impact damage in laminated composite structures, and the consequent
reduction in residual strength, has been a topic of continual research for over two decades …

The layer-wise laminate theory of Reddy is extended to account for multiple delaminations
between layers, and the associated computational model is developed. Delaminations …

The principal aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive literature survey on the
defects, like debonds/delamination in composite joints/structures, focusing on the effect of …

The investigation of damage tolerance of composite materials comprises a spectrum of
topics. A review of research in the area of damage tolerance critically exposes the need to …

This review considers the link between the damage tolerance of composite laminates and
the nature and organization of the fibre reinforcement. This embraces composites made from …

LIOn Delamination of Laminated Composites (a) Fiber-Reinforced Composites
Considerable technological advances in the production of high-strength fibers (graphite …

Delamination growth caused by local buckling of a delaminated group of plies was
investigated. Delamination growth was assumed to be governed by the strain-energy …
