This paper presents the finite element (FE) analysis of top hat stiffeners (manufactured using vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding (VARTM)) under static load where laminate splitting/delamination is the primary mode of failure. A set of experiments are conducted on composite top hat stiffeners with three different layup arrangements. The experimental study together with FE modelling to capture the delamination failure is presented.
