Fracture Mechanics of Delamination Buckling in Laminated Composites
Kenneth Hunziker4/28/08
Low Velocity Impact of a Laminated Composite Plate
lL
l
• Laminated composite materials have a strength-to-weight ratio advantage over many other materials
• Low velocity impact causes a delamination in the plate (size determined by impactor and plate parameters)
• A compressive load σo increases the delaminated area through coupled delamination and delamination buckling
• The growth of the damage through delamination buckling is analyzed using fracture criterion based on energy release rate
• Analyzed through 1-D and 2-D models
σo
Simplifications/Assumptions
• One delamination caused by impact is analyzed
• Delamination size is large compared to the laminate thickness but small compared to the laminate size
• Growth of the delamination is in the original damage plane
• Properties of the plate are considered to be homogeneous, isotropic and linearly elastic

• In order to solve for the four unknowns ε1, ε2, ε3 and θ we combine the displacement equations with the equilibrium and shortening equations
• The resulting four equations do not have a closed form solution• Solve numerically
• The strain energy release rate can be found with a numerical differentiation
• The same analysis can be preformed with the assumption that only section 3 contributes to the bending – ‘Thick Column’ case

Conclusions
• A one-dimensional model can be used to simplify analysis of a more complete two-dimensional model
• Simplifications can be made to the two-dimensional model based on initial damage relative size parameters• Either stable or unstable growth can occur in both the one and two-dimensional model with increasing load• A “thin-film” one-dimensional approach can be used as the delamination being analyzed approaches the plate surface
• The initial parameters of the damage in a structure determine the behavior of the damage as load is increased
• Both stable and unstable growth can occur based on the size/area of the initial damage
Further Analysis
• Further improvements of the 1-D model include:• Multiple delaminations• Non-homogeneous material properties
• Further improvements of the 2-D model:• Delamination shape, circular and elliptical• Anisotropic material
• The role of fiber direction in delamination growth• Multiple delaminations
