Abstract
null null A methodology for predicting accurately the propagation of delamination under mixed-mode fracture with cohesive elements is proposed. It is shown that changes in the local mode ratio during the evolution of damage under mixed-mode loading can cause errors in the determination of the energy dissipation and result in inaccurate predictions of the global load–displacement response – even under conditions where, according to Linear Elastic...
