Abstract
In this paper it was developed a Finite Element Method (FEM) model for the simulation of interfacial failure between two plies of an AS4/PEEK composite sample using Cohesive Zone Model (CZM), under the frame work of Comsol Multiphysics software. Mixed Mode Bending (MMB) method was considered here for the numerical implementation of progressive delamination propagating in composite specimens with pre-existing cracks. Volumetric strain and von Mises stress at the maximum load before fracture have been evaluated at here different ratios between mode II strain energy rate and total strain energy rate GII/GT = 20%, 50% and 80%.
