TLDR
In this paper, a continuum damage mechanics model with consideration of crack direction is developed for the prediction of fracture behavior in fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites under quasi-static load, which has the capability to reliably predict the initiation and direction of crack propagation while analysing the multi failure of FRP composites.

A computational methodology for simulating quasi-brittle fracture problems

TL;DR: In this article, an efficient and simple methodologies for simulating the three dimensional (3D) quasi-brittle fracture problems is presented. But the method does not identify the crack plane within each element, but it couples well with smeared crack method by identifying all the elements through which the crack surface passes.

Finite element interface models for the delamination analysis of laminated composites: mechanical and computational issues

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element analysis of delamination in laminated composites is addressed using interface elements and an interface damage law, where the principles of linear elastic fracture mechanics are indirectly used by equating the area underneath the traction/relative displacement curve to the critical energy release rate of the mode under examination.
