Influence of material inhomogeneity and non-linear mechanical behavior of the material on delamination in multilayered beams

Victor Rizov

The delamination fracture in four-point bending beams made of adhesively bonded lengthwise vertical layers is studied assuming that each layer exhibits smooth material inhomogeneity along the width and length of the layer. The study aims…
