Two-parameter model for delamination growth under mode I fatigue loading (Part B: Model development)

A two-parameter model for mode I fatigue delamination growth has been developed and is presented in this paper. The model is based on the mechanisms of decohesion that was determined through SEM investigations. The experimental data of fatigue delamination growth under mode I fatigue from the current study and the literature has been used for the validation of the model. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
