Fatigue-driven model for mode II
interlaminar delamination propagation
of fibre/epoxy-reinforced composite
laminates under three-point
end-notched flexure
This paper deals with mode II interlaminar delamination properties and failure mechanisms of composite laminates in
three-point end-notched flexure (3-ENF) tests under fixed cyclic loading. The results for fracture toughness, fatigue
driving force and delamination propagation behaviours of three different types of carbon and E-glass fibre/epoxy resinreinforced
composite laminates are evaluated and compared with each other for providing an insight into fatigue damage
development in composites and for constituting a fundamental basis for the development of a characterization model.
A new characterization formulation is presented for mode II interlaminar delamination propagation based on controlling
fatigue stress. Finally, the model is applied to experimental data, demonstrating the practical and effective use of the
proposed model. It is shown that fatigue-driven strength for mode II interlaminar delamination propagation can be
obtained realistically from experimental data using the new formulae.

Abstract
This paper deals with mode II interlaminar delamination properties and failure mechanisms of composite laminates in
three-point end-notched flexure (3-ENF) tests under fixed cyclic loading. The results for fracture toughness, fatigue
driving force and delamination propagation behaviours of three different types of carbon and E-glass fibre/epoxy resinreinforced
composite laminates are evaluated and compared with each other for providing an insight into fatigue damage
development in composites and for constituting a fundamental basis for the development of a characterization model.
A new characterization formulation is presented for mode II interlaminar delamination propagation based on controlling
fatigue stress. Finally, the model is applied to experimental data, demonstrating the practical and effective use of the
proposed model. It is shown that fatigue-driven strength for mode II interlaminar delamination propagation can be
obtained realistically from experimental data using the new formulae.
