Journal Article
Xu, F., Jones, I. A., & Li, S. (2019). A continuum damage model for transverse cracking in UD composites of linear viscoelastic behaviour. Composite Structures, 225, Article 110812. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2019.03.084

A damage model for linear viscoelastic unidirectional (UD) composites undergoing transverse matrix cracking is proposed. The damage representation for the corresponding elastic UD composite with an array of dispersed matrix cracks was derived from Li...

On the Representativeness of the Cohesive Zone Model in the Simulation of the Delamination Problem (2019)
Journal Article
Sitnikova, E., Li, D., Wei, J., Yi, X., & Li, S. (2019). On the Representativeness of the Cohesive Zone Model in the Simulation of the Delamination Problem. Journal of Composites Science, 3(1), Article 22. https://doi.org/10.3390/jcs3010022

With the development of finite element (FE) codes, numerical modelling of delamination is often considered to be somewhat commonplace in modern engineering. However, the readily available modelling techniques often undermine the truthful understandin...
