Rate and temperature dependent viscoelastic cohesive zone model for mode-idelamination of composites (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Introduction Initiation and propagation of delamination at room temperature and constant loading rates are modelled accurately by using bi-linear or exponential cohesive zone models (CZM) [1]. These "standard" traction-separation based models do not... Read More about Rate and temperature dependent viscoelastic cohesive zone model for mode-idelamination of composites.

Hygrothermal effects on the translaminar fracture toughness of a highly toughened aerospace CFRP: Experimental characterisation and model prediction (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The translaminar fracture toughness of wet (fully saturated) and dry (as manufactured) IM7/8552 laminates was measured using compact tension tests. Cross-ply ([90/0]8S) and quasi-isotropic ([90/45/0/-45]4S) laminates were tested at three different te...
