Airoldi, C.

Airoldi, C. Davila INTRODUCTION AND MOTIVATION The measurement of bridging tractions in the wake of crack confirms that they do not have a linear softening (Sorensen et al. 2008). The superposition of two linear softening laws has been proposed for intralaminar fracture (Davila et. Al 2009). Other shapes must be employed for the softening law It can be considered an appealing practical approach (conventional cohesive elements can be used)

Airoldi, C. Davila CONCLUSIONS Bi-linear softening laws can model delamination processes in the presence of fibre bridging An analytical calibration procedure of the model has been assessed for moderate values of peel strength (more refined models could be required for higher values) Numerical identification (response surface/optimization) can obtain approximate solutions without requiring the knowledge of the G-a curve Numerical procedures can be extended to multi-linear softening laws which could be more flexible for capturing both force response, G-a curve and process zone lengths
