Delamination in Composite Materials

FE modelling for prediction of in-plane shear and delamination in composite laminates.

Overview

Graduate research on delamination and fracture mechanics in composite materials at IIT Bombay. Studied the effect of matrix and interface properties on the in-plane shear response of glass-fiber reinforced epoxy laminates using finite element modelling.
