The paper presents the mixed - mode delamination response of laminate plate made of two sublaminates. To this purpose a sliding load mode of delamination is proposed as failure model. A quasistatic rate-independent delamination problem of laminate plates with a finite thickness is considered. A rate - independent delamination model for a laminated Kirchhoff - Love plate is obtained. The failure model is implemented in ANSYS code to calculate the mixed - mode delamination response as energy release rate along the lamination front.
