Composite laminates are prone to delamination during hot pressing and cooling, this delamination is one of the most important defects that affect the properties of composite structures, the formation and propagation of delamination in composite materials can significantly reduce the structural strength of composite materials and even lead to catastrophic failure. In this paper, the two parameters of the initial stratified position and the initial stratified diameter are selected to research the effects of these two parameters on the mechanical properties of composite laminates through numerical simulation and experiment, and concludes that the influence of initial delamination along the thickness direction on the average compression modulus and strain of the linear segment is small; the influence of delamination on the ultimate bearing capacity increases with the decrease of the distance between the delamination and the center plane. When the diameter of the delamination is in the range of 8%~20% of the effective area(18~44 mm), the influence on the average compression modulus, ultimate bearing capacity and strain of the linear segment is not obvious. When the diameter is increased to 27% of the effective length(60 mm), the above properties have changed greatly. And then, this paper introduces the bilinear controlled cohesive elements into the progressive failure method to calculate the ultimate load capacity of composite laminates, and demonstrate the accuracy of the simulation method by experiments.
