A variational approach for predicting initiation of matrix cracking and induced delamination in symmetric composite laminates under in-plane loading
This paper discusses the formation of matrix cracking and induced delaminations in a [ϕm(2)/ψn(1)]s$[\phi _m^{(2)}/\psi _n^{(1)}]s$ laminate subject to arbitrary in-plane loading using a variational approach. To this end, the effects of delaminations coming from the tips of transverse cracks in the...
