Numerical Investigation of the R-Curve Effect in Delamination of Composite Materials Using Cohesive Elements

This paper presents a numerical investigation of the R-curve effect in delamination propagation in composite materials. The R-curve effect refers to the phenomenon whereby resistance to crack propagation increases with the advancement of the delamination, due to toughening mechanisms, such as fiber...
