Data set from a 3D benchmark simulation of delamination in a layered composite component under fatigue loading

This data repository provides the processed data obtained from the benchmark simulation using the method presented in the article entitled "A simulation method for fatigue-driven delamination in layered structures involving non-negligible fracture process zones and arbitrarily shaped crack fronts" by the same authors. The method is based on a cohesive zone model approach and a Paris' law-based expression describing the crack growth rate. The capabilities of the method are evaluated by comparison of the results obtained from a benchmark test on a partially reinforced double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen with varying crack growth rate and front shape. The experimental work is presented in the article entitled "A benchmark test for validating 3D simulation methods for delamination growth under quasi-static and fatigue loading". Experimental data is provided in the Mendeley data set entitled "Experimental data set from a benchmark test of delamination growth with varying crack growth rate and crack front shape under quasi-static and fatigue loading". This data set only contains the simulation results. The test configuration, the methodology and the data processing are addressed in the related articles.

本数据集仓库收录了由同名作者在《考虑不可忽略断裂过程区与任意形状裂纹前沿的层状结构疲劳驱动分层仿真方法》一文中提出的方法开展基准仿真所得到的处理后数据。该方法基于内聚力区模型（cohesive zone model）与基于帕里斯定律（Paris' law）的裂纹扩展速率表达式。通过对裂纹扩展速率与前沿形状可变的部分增强双悬臂梁（Double Cantilever Beam, DCB）试件开展基准测试，将所得仿真结果与实验结果进行对比，以此评估该方法的性能。相关实验工作发表于《准静态与疲劳载荷下分层扩展三维仿真方法验证的基准测试》一文中。该基准测试的实验数据收录于题为《准静态与疲劳载荷下可变裂纹扩展速率及裂纹前沿形状的分层扩展基准测试实验数据集》的Mendeley数据集中。本数据集仅包含仿真结果，测试配置、研究方法与数据处理细节均在相关文章中予以阐述。
