delaminations

Plies coming apart

Delaminations are instances of material separating into layers.

The term appears in engineering and manufacturing contexts where bonded or laminated materials fail: The inspector found delaminations in the composite wing panel.

Delamination can occur in fiberglass, plywood, dental work, or any structure where layers are meant to stay fused but come apart.
