Relation between plasticity and damage in studying the frictional behaviour between two composite laminates.

Submitted by nizanth on

Hi all, 

     I want to model mode II composite delamination incorporating frictional effects. I found papers by Alfano and Sacco (2006) and few others also. My question is that to model such a situation are :

1) should I incorporate plasticity or damage analysis or both? What is the rite approach? 

2) In each of these cases, do I need to have a plastic yield function and damage surface ??
