Abstract
The main interest of interleaved laminates is to reduce sensitivity to delamination during out-of-plane loading. Damage mechanisms such as transverse or micro-delamination cracking during in-plane loading can also be affected by the presence of an interleaf containing particles. The present paper focuses on in-plane loading. The interactions between these cracks and the particles are studied both experimentally and numerically. Tensile tests on double-edge notched specimens were carried out to identify the propagation paths of a transverse crack and a micro-delamination crack within interleaves located between 90 °/90 ° plies and 90 °/0 ° plies. The influence of interleaf particles on transverse and delamination cracking was predicted on appropriate elemental cells. The particles of the interleaf are shown to exert a local influence on the propagation of transverse or micro-delamination cracks. For a transverse crack, the interaction with the particle and the scenarios of blunting and bridging are predicted using strain energy release rate and stress intensity factors. For a micro-delamination crack, the shear modulus of the cell highly decreases with increasing crack length. Stable propagation under tensile loading but unstable propagation under in-plane shear loading is predicted.
