AB Delamination is one of the most critical failure mechanisms in laminated composites. Usually it isassumed that delamination grows in a combination of modes I and II, but dominated by the mode I.In this work an experimental and numerical study of mode I delamination of laminated glass/epoxy[0/90]8S manufactured by resin infusion has been carried out. The value of has been obtained bythe Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) test. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) has been used to measure thecrack’s length.The numerical simulation was performed using two numerical techniques: Virtual Crack ClosureTechnique (VCCT) and the Cohesive Zone Model (CZM).Both techniques predict the onset of delamination. The VCCT is simple to use but it needs to definethe area where delamination is going to start. The CZM allows the determination of the initialdelamination area but it requires defining correctly the properties of the cohesive element.
