Three-dimensional analysis of the effect of material randomness on the damage behaviour of CFRP laminates with stochastic cohesive-zone elements

Laminated carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are already well established in structural applications where high specific strength and stiffness are required. Damage in these laminates is usually localised and may involve numerous mechanisms, such as matrix cracking, laminate delaminat...
