Abstract
In this paper, two rate-dependent interface models are formulated and discu ssed. The models are conceived for the simulation of debonding degradation in polymer matrix composites, the most meaningful example of application be ing the simulation of rate-dependent delamination. Numerical time integrati on and the introduction in a finite element analysis program are described in detail; numerical examples and a comparison with experimental results ar e presented.
