Abstract

An existing model for interlaminar normal stress distribution in singly curved and moderately thick laminates neglects to model the influence of interlaminar shear. This work completes the previous model and validates improvement of accuracy. The new model and a FEM model based upon solid finite elements are used to predict the critical delamination loads observed in experiments which are also described.
