Abstract

This paper deals with numerical modelling of laminate composite plate delamination that consists of unidirectional fiber reinforced layers. The delamination may be a fundamental problem in design of composite structures. The first-order shear laminate plate theory and fracture and contact mechanics were adopted for the methodology. The sublaminate modelling and delamination modelling are described by the help of finite element analysis. The displacements, reaction forces in springs and energy release rate along the lamination front are computed in modelling of interface. The numerical results are presented for problems with delamination of the mixed mode by using of 2D finite element analysis in the commercial ANSYS software. Copyright © 2018 VBRI Press.
