A finite element model for propagating delamination in laminated composite plates based on the Virtual Crack Closure method

In the paper, a simple and efficient algorithm to track a moving delamination front of arbitrary shape, using a laminated finite plate element model in conjunction with the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT), is proposed. The solution requires the calculation of the virtually closed area in fron...
