12 March 2003; accepted 18 March 2003 Abstract This paper presents a detailed numerical study of the mode I interlaminar fracture of carbon/epoxy composite laminates with z-fibre reinforcement. The study was performed using a double cantilever beam configuration. A finite element model was developed using thick-layered shell elements to model the composite laminates and non-linear interface elements to simulate the through thickness reinforcements. An existing micro-mechanical solution was employed

reaction used for these devices is hydrogen peroxide and phenol oxalate ester. The hydrogen peroxide is kept in a thin‚ small glass vial in the middle of the stick‚ and the second chemical phenol oxalate ester is in the main body of the light stick. Bending the light stick in the middle causes the small glass vial of hydrogen

susceptible to large lateral displacements during severe earthquake ground motions‚ and require special attention to limit damage to nonstructural elements as well as to avoid problems associated with P-∆ effects and brittle or ductile fracture of beam to column connections [FEMA‚ 2000]. As a consequence‚ engineers in the US have increasingly turned to concentrically braced steel frames as an economical means for resisting earthquake loads. However‚ damage to concentrically braced frames in past
