Instability-related delamination growth of embedded and edge delaminationsCompressive loads can cause local buckling in composite laminates that have a near surface delamination. This buckling causes load redistribution and secondary loads, which in turn cause interlaminar stresses and delamination growth. The goal of this research was to enhance the understanding of this instability-related delamination growth in laminates containing either an embedded or an edge delamination.
