Topics Page No. 2. Failure in Composites 2.1 Failure Mechanism

This document discusses failure mechanisms in composite materials including matrix cracking, interfacial debonding, buckling, delamination, and fibre fracture. It then focuses on numerical simulation of delamination, including experimental determination of interfacial fracture toughness in different modes and techniques like the virtual crack closure technique and use of interfacial decohesion elements to model both single mode and mixed mode delamination, including constitutive equations and predictions of damage onset and propagation.
