3.20: Debond propagation paths in MMB specimens <strong>and</strong> panels.<br />
In order to investigate the effect <strong>of</strong> initial imperfection magnitude on the behaviour <strong>of</strong> the panels,<br />
PMI panels with 100 mm debond <strong>and</strong> different initial imperfection magnitudes were analysed.<br />
Figures 3.21 (a) <strong>and</strong> 3.21 (b) show the energy release rate vs. load <strong>and</strong> phase angle vs. load<br />
curves for panels with different initial imperfection magnitudes. It is seen that the energy release<br />
rate is not sensitive to the initial imperfection magnitude. The phase angle, Figure 3.21 (b), is<br />
sensitive to the initial imperfection under small loads, but appears to converge to a value about<br />
0° under higher loads, indicating that the mode-mixity is less influenced by initial imperfection<br />
under higher loads.<br />
