Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is the process of collecting, interpreting, and analysing
data from structures in order to determine its health status and the remaining life span …

This article surveys existing cohesive zone models (CZM) and their use in numerical
simulations for analysis impacts on composite structures and predicting the damage …

In this paper, an application of the Extended Finite Element Method (XFEM) for simulation of
delamination in fibre metal laminates is presented. The study consider a double cantilever …

The low-velocity impact response of a range of fiber metal laminate (FML) panels was
investigated through testing and finite element simulations. The objective of this study was to …

Abstract A First-order Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT) is chosen to simulate composite
laminates in the linear and the geometrically non-linear regimes. The formulation is based …

This paper presents a new three dimensional (3D) augmented finite element method (A-
FEM) that can account for arbitrary crack initiation and propagation in 3D solids without the …

Recent decades have witnessed a growing interest in simulating interfacial debonding in
laminated structures using cohesive zone (CZ)-based algorithms. In the present work, we …

This article presents a three-dimensional extended finite element (XFEM) approach for
numerical simulation of delamination in unidirectional composites under fracture mode I. A …

A micropolar cohesive damage model for delamination of composites is proposed. The main
idea is to embed micropolarity, which brings an additional layer of kinematics through the …

The need for high quality machining of composite materials is rising due to the increased
utilisation of these materials across several applications. This paper presents experimental …
