| − | This paper investigates robustness and efficiency of a method for the numerical simulation of fatigue driven delamination growth in laminated composites. The method is based on the fatigue degradation of a bilinear interface element and the paper studies the dependence of the predicted behaviour on the interface element size, <math>\Delta</math>Δl, and the number of cycles per increment, ΔN. It is concluded that the value of ΔN must be small enough to ensure that at least two increments are required to advance the crack by Δl. It is also shown that Δl must be sufficiently small so that at least two interface elements lie in the cohesive zone ahead of the crack tip. The paper also proposes extensions of the model to include a non-zero minimum cyclic load value and an improved algorithm for mixed-mode fatigue driven delamination growth. | + | This paper investigates robustness and efficiency of a method for the numerical simulation of fatigue driven delamination growth in laminated composites.

| − | Most of the documents in Scipedia are written in English (write your manuscript in American or British English, but not a mixture of these). Anyhow, specific publications in other languages can be published in Scipedia. In any case, the documents published in other languages must have an abstract written in English.

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1, 1.2, etc. and then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ... Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Capitalize the first word of the headings.

| − | | + | |
| − | Some general guidelines that should be followed in your manuscripts are:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Avoid hyphenation at the end of a line.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Symbols denoting vectors and matrices should be indicated in bold type. Scalar variable names should normally be expressed using italics.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Use decimal points (not commas); use a space for thousands (10 000 and above).
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions. In particular use the international system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent in SI.

| − | 2.3 Tables, figures, lists and equations
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Please insert tables as editable text and not as images. Tables should be placed next to the relevant text in the article. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Graphics may be inserted directly in the document and positioned as they should appear in the final manuscript.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Number the figures according to their sequence in the text. Ensure that each illustration has a caption. A caption should comprise a brief title. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used. Try to keep the resolution of the figures to a minimum of 300 dpi. If a finer resolution is required, the figure can be inserted as supplementary material
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | For tabular summations that do not deserve to be presented as a table, lists are often used. Lists may be either numbered or bulleted. Below you see examples of both.

| − | You may choose to number equations for easy referencing. In that case they must be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right hand side of the page. Below is an example of formulae that should be referenced as eq. (1].

| − | Supplementary material can be inserted to support and enhance your article. This includes video material, animation sequences, background datasets, computational models, sound clips and more. In order to ensure that your material is directly usable, please provide the files with a preferred maximum size of 50 MB. Please supply a concise and descriptive caption for each file. -->==

| + | |
| − | Citations in text will follow a citation-sequence system (i.e. sources are numbered by order of reference so that the first reference cited in the document is [1], the second [2], and so on) with the number of the reference in square brackets. Once a source has been cited, the same number is used in all subsequent references. If the numbers are not in a continuous sequence, use commas (with no spaces) between numbers. If you have more than two numbers in a continuous sequence, use the first and last number of the sequence joined by a hyphen

| − | You should ensure that all references are cited in the text and that the reference list. References should preferably refer to documents published in Scipedia. Unpublished results should not be included in the reference list, but can be mentioned in the text. The reference data must be updated once publication is ready. Complete bibliographic information for all cited references must be given following the standards in the field (IEEE and ISO 690 standards are recommended). If possible, a hyperlink to the referenced publication should be given. See examples for Scipedia’s articles [1], other publication articles [2], books [3], book chapter [4], conference proceedings [5], and online documents [6], shown in references section below. -->==
