Analytical and numerical investigation of the length of the cohesive zone in delaminated composite materials

An accurate prediction of the length of the cohesive zone ahead of a crack tip is fundamental for the correct simulation of delamination in composite materials under both quasi-static and fatigue loading. To ensure a correct dissipation of energy during delamination propagation, several cohesive fin...
