N2  - 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.
