Abstract
In this study, virtual crack closure technique (VCCT) and extended finite element method (XFEM) are coupled to each other as XFEM-VCCT approach to simulate mode I fatigue delamination growth in composites, employing the direct cyclic method in Abaqus. Both two-dimensional plane strain and three-dimensional finite element models under force and displacement control are considered. Numerical simulation results are compared with the existed...
