Numerical investigation of transverse bridging development in mode I delamination of fiber-reinforced composite laminates
Transverse fiber bridging is an extrinsic toughening mechanism in cross-ply composite laminates, but its numerical representation remains challenging because it involves coupled transverse cracking and interlaminar delamination. This study develops a cohesive-zone-based finite element model to investigate the apparen...
