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. date: 2004 date_type: published publisher: Gruppo Italiano Frattura pagerange: 136-141 refereed: TRUE isbn: 8890108096 book_title: Atti del 17° Convegno Nazionale del Gruppo Italiano Frattura (IGF) citation: Carpinteri, Alberto and Paggi, Marco Theoretical and numerical investigation on internal instability phenomena in composite materials.
