An Elastic Interface Model for the Delamination of Bending-Extension Coupled Laminates

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of an interfacial crack in a multi-directional laminated beam with possible bending-extension coupling and derived explicit expressions for the internal forces, strain measures, and generalized displacements in the sublaminates.

Moisture Absorption Effects on Mode II Delamination of Carbon/Epoxy Composites.

TL;DR: Through numerical simulations, it is found that the approaches used to estimate the lamina and cohesive properties are suitable to obtain reliable simulation results and could serve as guidelines to predict the residual properties and simulate the mode II delamination behavior under moisture attack.

Combining interface damage and friction in cohesive interface models using an energy based approach

TL;DR: In this paper, a new coupled model is proposed which uses a cohesive energy related parameter to combine interface damage and friction and the model produces converged results over a wide range of interface stiffness and the predictions match the experiments quite well.

Yielding of steel sheets containing slits

TL;DR: In this article, a relation between extent of plastic yielding and external load applied was investigated, and panels containing internal and edge slits were loaded in tension and lengths of plastic zones were measured.

Analysis of crack formation and crack growth in concrete by means of fracture mechanics and finite elements

TL;DR: In this article, fracture mechanics is introduced into finite element analysis by means of a model where stresses are assumed to act across a crack as long as it is narrowly opened, which may be regarded as a way of expressing the energy adsorption in the energy balance approach.

Fracture and Size Effect in Concrete and Other Quasibrittle Materials

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Weibull-type approach to measure the effect of size effect on structural strength of a crack and its size effect in terms of the number of cracks and the size of the cracks.
