Abstract
The chapter deals with the problem of the interaction of multiple damage mechanisms in multilayered and sandwich structures subject to static and dynamic loading conditions. The effects of the interaction on the mechanical behavior of composite systems are studied by means of one-dimensional models based on par-ticularizations of the theories of bending of beams and plates. The study shows that the interaction of multiple delaminations in laminated and multilayered systems subject to out of plane loadings profoundly affects crack growth characteristics and different key properties;controlled delamination fracture, via material and structure design, can improve impact and damage tolerance and energy absorption.
