Abstract

This paper presents a finite element model based on the Reissner-Mindlin plate theory to calculate the static load-deflection behavior of delaminated plates. Delamination growth is taken into account by applying a fracture mechanics criterion which can only be checked along the delamination front. Therefore, a so-called front control method has to be used for the delamination growth simulation, which is realized with a moving mesh technique adapting the mesh successively to the delamination front. Although the simplifications of the model compared to the three-dimensional elasticity theory restrict the model to Griffith-type growth criteria, qualitative delamination growth phenomena can be described rather well.
