In this paper, a multi-layered composite inspired by the hierarchical structure of nacre and made of layers of aluminium alloy AA 7075 bonded with toughened epoxy resin is introduced for blast resistant applications. The performance of the proposed n

Failure develops and propagates through a structure via a complex sequence of competing micro-mechanisms occurring simultaneously. While the active mechanism of surface debonding is the source of loss of stiffness and cohesion, friction between crack

A constitutive model for interface debonding is proposed which is able to account for mixed-mode coupled debonding and plasticity, as well as further coupling between debonding and friction including post-delamination friction. The work is an extensi

This paper examines the performance of enriching the shape functions of interface finite elements in the prediction of mixed-mode delamination. Enriching second-order interface and solid elements with the analytical solution of a beam on elastic foun

In this paper, a new approach for extracting stress intensity factors (SIFs) by the extended element-free Galerkin method, through a crack closure integral (CCI) scheme, is proposed. The CCI calculation is used in conjunction with a local smoothing t

This paper describes the computation of stress intensity factors (SIFs) for cracks in functionally graded materials (FGMs) using an extended element-free Galerkin (XEFG) method. The SIFs are extracted through the crack closure integral (CCI) with a l

Modern numerical techniques utilised to model crack propagation tend to be optimized for tracking the evolution of a single crack. Real fracture processes are however complex, involving the initiation and propagation of opening (activated) cracks, wh

A generic approach to constitutive modelling of composite delamination under mixed mode loading conditions is developed. The proposed approach is thermodynamically consistent and takes into account two major dissipative mechanisms in composite delami

Most constitutive models for quasi-brittle materials ignore the fact that the measurable fracture energy represents more than one dissipative mechanism, including those from the creation of new surface areas and frictions between surfaces. Specifical

A new approach to linear plate theory for layered structures is introduced. The new theory distances itself from the classical strategy where through the thickness displacement functions are assumed a priori. Instead, the homogenization is based on a
