Analysis of delamination growth with discontinuous solid-like shell elements
(International Journal of Numerical Methods in Heat and Fluid FlowInternational Journal of Numerical Methods in Heat and Fluid Flow, 2004)
Delamination is one of the most important failure mechanisms in laminates. Normally, it is modelled using interface elements. These elements are placed between two layers that are modelled with continuum elements. The ...
A précis of some recent developments in computational failure mechanics
(International Journal of Numerical Methods in Heat and Fluid FlowInternational Journal of Numerical Methods in Heat and Fluid Flow, 2004)
A concise overview is given of various numerical methods that can be used to analyse localisation and failure in engineering materials. The importance of the cohesive-zone approach is emphasised and various ways of ...
