Abstract
The aim of this study is to present a novel Semi Analytical model to analyse Mode I delamination in DCB specimens with holes, and specimens with installed fasteners. For verification and validation results were obtained with experiments and with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) based on Cohesive Zone Modelling. The proposed model obtained results with a good correlation to the experimental and FEA results, with a significant reduction in computational time. It presents the first known analytical method to include holes and fasteners in Mode I delamination analysis, and it discusses complexities and limitations of the analysis methods.
