Delamination fracture analysis of an elastic-plastic functionally graded mult…

Abstract Background: A theoretical study was performed of mode II delamination in a multilayered functionally graded beam configuration with considering the material non-linearity. Methods: The fracture was analysed by the J-integral approach. Two laws (quadratic and exponential) for variation of the modulus of elasticity along the beam height were applied. The J-integral closed form non-li…
