Abstract
In traditional finite element modeling of progressive failure in laminated fiber reinforced polymers, inter- and intralaminar cracks are normally treated in different ways. Interlaminar cracks are normally described explicitly by building up the laminate using stacked elements (solids or shells) connected by cohesive interface elements. Intralaminar cracks, one the other hand, are more often accounted for by using a continuum damage approach,...
