TLDR
In this paper, a material property concept that is independent of both test specimen geometry and the orientation of the plies constituting the delaminating interface is elucidated, through the definition of interlaminar fracture solely in terms of an interlinar separation that includes no fiber breakage or pull-out.About:

Impact and delamination failure of woven-fabric composites
Jang Kyo Kim,Man Lung Sham +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the fracture behavior and failure mechanisms of composite laminates containing woven fabrics in mode I and mode II delamination and under impact loading is presented, where potential advantages of using woven fabrics as opposed to cross-ply unidirectional prepreg tapes are discussed from the viewpoint of the microstructure/property relationship.

Two-Dimensional Modelling of Compressive Failure in Delaminated Laminates
Herzl Chai,C. D. Babcock +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical model is developed to assess the compressive strength criticality of near-surface interlaminar defects in laminated composites, where the growth conditions and growth behavior of this defect are studied by breaking the overall problem into an elastic stability problem and a fracture problem.

Some Observations on the Interlaminar Strength of Composite Laminates
N. J. Pagano,R. Byron Pipes +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed design of a laminate specimen which can exhibit catastrophic delamination induced by interlaminar tension is presented, along with a preliminary failure hypothesis to characterize this mode of rupture and the associated experimental demonstration of the phenomena.
