An energy based approach for reliability analysis of delamination growth under mode I, mode II and mixed mode I/II loading in composite laminates

Since there are many uncertainty sources in composite laminates such as fiber and matrix material properties, reliability analysis of laminates under specific loading modes has been of significant importance in many applications. This paper represents a method for reliability analysis of E-Glass/Epoxy composite laminates in the presence of the most common and catastrophic failure mode in macro-scale, i.e. delamination under mode I, mode II, and...
