Summary
The 3D delamination model developed will include a crack tracking algorithm and 3D J-integral of cohesive zone. The model is implemented in SAMCEF and ready to use. Its predictive 3D capabilities are demonstrated on a delamination demonstrator by comparing to experimental data. This delivery is an outcome of Task 5.1 (3D progressive delamination method based on cohesive zone modelling for fatigue loading)
