- This work established the characterisation of delamination in composite materials under cyclic loading. Wind turbines and aerospace industry will benefit. It reports the Paris' law coefficient for glass fibre composites and studies the effect of cyclic loading on delaminated fracture surface. When published, few works on cyclic delamination of fibre composite materials were published, though these materials are used under cyclic loading in many industries. Extensive experimental work was conducted to establish methodology for fatigue delamination of composite material. When published, there was no standard for these tests although in 2019 the first ASTM 6115 standard was published.
