models are proposed to predict the mixed-mode fracture of notched composite laminates subjected to uniaxial and multiaxial loading. The basic elastic, strength properties and a characteristic length are utilized by these models. The characteristic length is determined differently for the two models.

This paper analyses the progressive mixed mode delamination failure in unidirectional and multidirectional composite laminates using fracture experiments, finite element (FE) simulations and an analytical solution. The numerical model of the laminate is described as an assembly of damageable layers
In this paper, the use of cohesive-zone models to analyze crack-path selection in adhesive joints made from a polymer-matrix composite is demonstrated. Cohesive-zone parameters for the adhesive and composite obtained in a previous work were used without any modifications to make the predictions pres
Abatraet-Notched beams of saturated concrete were tested, according to RILEM procedure, at temperatures ranging from 20 to -170ยฐC. A model recently proposed by the authors, the Perturbed Ligament Model, was used to obtain size-independent Gr values. Results show that the perturbation lengths are tem
A test equipment for the measurement of material properties within a damage zone subject to combined tension and shear deformations is described. Some results have been presented and discussed concerning the damage zone behaviour under such conditions.
