Simulation of Mode I Interlaminar Damage of a GFRP Composite Using Cohesive Laws in the Framework of the Equivalent LEFM R-Curve and an Optimised Algorithm

This paper is focused on mode I delimitation of a unidirectional glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite. The aim is to propose an accurate and simple characterisation of three cohesive zone models (CZM)—bilinear, trilinear, and potential—from the measurement of the load-displacement curve d...
