Abstract

A procedure for calculation of the fracture force for a compressed composite plate with initial delamination is suggested. The fracture criterion of the J-integral forms the basis of evaluation of crack resistance. To facilitate calculation of the J-integral, an original procedure for expansion of initial loading into two states is suggested, so that the main section would not be loaded for the first system of loadings and the curvature values of sections would be identical for the second system and the system would be safe in the context of crack resistance. In order to determine the fracture force, the system of two transcendent equations is derived. The results of the calculation of the fracture force are compared for laminated plates made from carbon fiber-reinforced plastic and glass-reinforced plastic with various values of the initial delamination prepared according to the suggested procedure for the experimental data (the calculation error of the fracture force is less than 10% as compared to the experimental data).
