Abstract

A study of mixed-mode crack propagation in bending-based interlaminar fracture specimens is here presented. A numerical scheme to simulate full crack propagation is proposed which makes use of interface laws relating interlaminar stresses to displacement discontinuities along the plane of crack propagation. The relation between interface laws and mixed-mode failure loci in terms of critical energies is discussed and clarified. Numerical simulations are presented and compared with analytical and experimental results.
