Numerical study of interface cracking in composite structures using a novel geometrically nonlinear Linear Elastic Brittle Interface Model: mixed-mode fracture conditions and application to structured interfaces
Interface cracking is one of the most prominent failure modes in fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. Recent trends in high-tech applications of FRP composites exploit the limits of the load bearing capacity, generally encompassing the development of notable nonlinear effects from geometrical...
