This paper describes an experimental investigation to evaluate the compression failure
mechanisms of kink banding, splitting, and delaminations under non-standard quasi-static …

The compressive failure of multidirectional laminates can be considered as an interaction of
four failure mechanisms: fiber kinking, fiber splitting, matrix cracking and delamination. The …

A mesoscale model for fibre kinking onset and growth in a three-dimensional framework is
developed and validated against experimental results obtained in-house as well as from the …
