This thesis investigates the free edge effect in multi-layered composites, where stress concentrations at dissimilar interfaces induce delamination.
Description
A novel 3D Finite Fracture Mechanics (FFM) criterion is introduced to predict delamination under quasi-static, thermal, and fatigue loading conditions. Semi-analytical frameworks are developed to calculate interlaminar stresses and energy release rates (ERR) along semi-elliptical cracks using advanced parametric Finite Element models.
These frameworks are extended to hybrid metal/composite laminates, improving fracture predictions. The criterion is validated against experimental tests, offering accurate predictions of failure loads and crack extension in symmetric laminates subjected to various loading scenarios.<i><br></i>
