title: Theoretical and numerical investigation on internal instability phenomena in composite materials
creator: Carpinteri, Alberto

subject: TJ Mechanical engineering and machinery
description: Instability phenomena occurring in the microstructure of composite materials are investigated. To this aim, a  complete description of the mechanical behavior of bi-material interfaces in composite materials requires the  definition of both a cohesive law involving damage for the debonding stage, and a contact model during the  closure of the interface. Both formulations are herein presented and implemented in the FE code FEAP.  Numerical examples showing the transition from a snap-back instability to a stable mechanical response are  presented.
