Numerical Study of the Mixed-Mode Delamination of Composite Specimens

The present research deals with the delamination process in multi-layered composite specimens, with a reduced computational effort. The adhesive interface between sublaminates is represented as a continuous distribution of elastic-brittle springs in the normal and/or tangential direction depending o...
