M.A. Tashkinov, Frattura ed Integrità Strutturale, 39 (2017) 248-262; DOI: 10.3221/IGF-ESIS.39.23 252 dark color corresponds to debonded nodes, which were initially disconnected or for which the condition (4) was satisfied later. Fig. 4 shows the condition of the samples after the loss of stability with superimposed field of displacement along the axis 3 (directed along the normal to the sample), for sample with a defect size of 20 mm. u 0  mm u 2.398  mm u 2.468  mm u 2.503  mm (a) u 0  mm u 1.558  mm u 1.593  mm u 1.652  mm (b) u 0  mm u 1.225  mm u 1.247  mm u 1.405  mm (c) Figure 3 : Delamination growth for the samples with different initial defect size: (a) 10mm; (b) 20mm; (c) 30mm.
