Abstract

A discussion on cohesive zone model formulation for prediction of interlaminar damage in composite laminates is presented in this paper. The degradation of interlaminar mechanical properties is analysed from a physical point of view. Firstly, the damage evolution is evaluated according to the traction-separation law and it is demonstrated that if a linear elastic unloading/reloading curve is assumed, the softening function must also be linear. Secondly, issues regarding damage onset and fracture criteria in mixed-mode loading are critically addressed and commented. A new set of criteria is proposed, and the limitations of existing criteria are discussed. (AU)
