The concept of a fracture process zone where damage takes place is used to analyse the delaminations at the free edges of angle ply laminates under uniaxial tension. The use of a fracture process zone removes the singularity in the interlaminar stresses and enables the initiation and growth of delam

Edge delamination onset on composite laminates has been investigated for a carbon/epoxy T800/914 composite material. On the edge of laminates, out-of-plane stresses arise, even up to material's failure. Layer thickness is also known as well to influence delamination onset stress. Making use of a con
Free edge delamination in composite structures results from very localised stress fields which induce a stress concentration promoting the nucleation of an interfacial crack. To predict such a delamination onset at the free edge of a Γ°AEhΓ s laminate in traction, use is made of a strength and toughn
