Simulation of fracture and delamination in layered shells due to blade cutting
A new isotropic damage cohesive model for the simulation of mixed-mode delamination is presented. The model is based on consideration of the interface internal friction, naturally leading to coupled opening and shear damage mechanisms. Mixed-mode fracture energy turns out to be a direct outcome of the model and does not require the definition of an empirical law, additional to pure Mode I and II fracture energies. The model has been developed to account for delamination processes promoted by blade cutting of carton packages
A mixed-mode cohesive model for delamination with isotropic damage and internal friction
This work deals with the formulation of a thermodynamically consistent, isotropic damage cohesive model for mixed-mode delamination under variable mode ratio. The proposed model is based on the introduction of an internal friction angle in the tensile case, that allows for an accurate modelling of the interaction between normal and shear openings
A thermodynamically consistent cohesive damage model for the simulation of mixed-mode delamination
This work is devoted to the formulation of a new cohesive model for mixed-mode delamination. The model is based on a thermodynamically consistent isotropic damage formulation, with consideration of an internal friction mechanism that governs the interaction between normal and shear opening modes
