When stress is high, delaminate damage can be induced by transverse cracks. A complete parabolic shear-lag damage model containing delamination induced by transverse cracks is therefore proposed and applied to predict the stiffness reduction by transverse cracking in cross-ply laminated composite materials. The predictions of the complete parabolic shear-lag analysis model, the incomplete parabolic shear-lag analysis model, and the complete parabolic shear-lag damage model containing delamination proposed in this paper have been compared. Results show that the young’s modulus reduction values obtained by our analysis model are better agreement with the experimental ones than other models.

The first damage mode to appear in continuous fibre-reinforced composite laminates subjected to in-plane loading is usually transverse cracking, i.e. matrix cracking in the off-axis plies of the laminate. Since the density of transverse cracks has a great influence on the subsequent failure steps like delaminations, it is important to be able to predict it accurately. In this paper, the evolution of crack density with increasing external load is predicted using a combination of the Coupled Criterion of Finite Fracture Mechanics and the Equivalent Constraint Model.
