Compressive failure analysis for low length-width ratio composite laminates with embedded delamination

For low length-width ratio composite laminates with embedded delamination under compressive loading, different failure modes occur and interact tightly, which catastrophically decrease the load carrying capacity of the laminates. In order to systematically investigate the compressive behaviour of these laminates, a thorough progressive failure model taking into account the interaction among intralaminar failure, interlaminar failure and buckling...
