Basic research issues and engineering challenges are discussed for delamination cracks in laminates that are reinforced through the thickness. A fairly complete picture is now available of the mechanisms of deformation of through-thickness reinforcement in mixed mode loading, with some insight into fatigue and dynamic loading effects. A growing body of work on delamination fracture in the presence of large bridging zones indicates a viable approach to the engineering problems of creating uncomplicated design methods and processes of certification. Some fracture concepts are required that are beyond the traditional body of engineering fracture mechanics.

Abstract
Basic research issues and engineering challenges are discussed for delamination cracks in laminates that are reinforced through the thickness. A fairly complete picture is now available of the mechanisms of deformation of through-thickness reinforcement in mixed mode loading, with some insight into fatigue and dynamic loading effects. A growing body of work on delamination fracture in the presence of large bridging zones indicates a viable approach to the engineering problems of creating uncomplicated design methods and processes of certification. Some fracture concepts are required that are beyond the traditional body of engineering fracture mechanics.
