Media type: E-Article Title: On Numerical Simulation of Interlaminar Failure of Composites Contributor: Kula, Krzysztof; Schlebusch, Rainer; Zastrau, Bernd W.; Kuczma, Mieczysław Published: Wiley, 2008 Published in: PAMM, 8 (2008) 1, Seite 10221-10222 Language: English DOI: 10.1002/pamm.200810221 ISSN: 1617-7061 Keywords: General Medicine Origination: Footnote: Description: AbstractThis paper deals with one of the most dangerous failure modes in fiber reinforced composites, namely delamination. The laminated structure is modeled by a solid–shell finite element. The mechanical modeling of delamination onset and propagation is based upon a cohesive zone model implemented into a cohesive element located between laminae of a composite structure. The numerical simulations are accomplished within the commercial software package ABAQUS by the implementation of a user–written finite element. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
