A mixed mode cohesive model for FRP laminates incorporating large scale bridging behaviour

New open publication and data to download on: A mixed mode cohesive model for FRP laminates incorporating large scale bridging behaviour. A user defined cohesive material model is implemented in the LS-DYNA finite element code. The model is based on interface properties characterised from DCB specimens loaded with unequal bending moments

Test specimens showing that the extent of fibre bridging varies with the moment configuration.
