Study Notes
Delamination in Composites
- Delamination is the separation between layers (plies) in a composite material.
- This damage weakens the structure and reduces its load-carrying capacity.
- It is a major concern for high-performance composite applications.
- Delamination occurs due to the weakening of the interface layer between adjacent composite layers.
- This weakening can be caused by various factors including internal stresses, external loading, or manufacturing defects.
- The diagram shows a delamination between layers of a composite material, with arrows indicating forces acting on the material.
