The fiber reinforced polymer laminates have found extensive applications because of its advantages over other
materials in terms of strength, stiffness, stability, weight saving features, resistance to corrosion and erosion and many more.
But due to poor transverse direction strength, a failure mechanism called delamination will occur in case of poor manufacturing
or when tools are dropped which would make an impact.
In this paper, VCCT is implemented at the interface between base and sub laminate to investigate for 20mm through the width
buckling driven delamination growth.
