Abstract
Cohesive interface elements are becoming a popular choice in the analysis of composite material failure, particularly for delamination. Use of such elements is not without pitfalls, which include the correct selection of material parameters and mesh size. This chapter gives an introduction to the use of cohesive elements for analysis of composites delamination together with some examples of use, particularly where caution is needed in the interpretation of results.
