The anisotropic elasticity damage mechanics is considered within the framework of the classical theory of elasticity. Starting from the principle of strain equivalence and notion of isotropic group, damage tensor components ...

Layerwise plate theory of Reddy, extended for the analysis of delaminations, has served as a basis for development of enriched finite elements. The proposed model assumes layerwise linear variation of in-plane displacements ...

This study deals with an elastomer body having a random 3D distribution of two types of inclusions: spheroidal mutually parallel voids and differently oriented reinforcing parallel elastomeric stiff spheroidal short fibers. ...

A procedure for developing the dynamic stiffness matrix of a completely free laminated composite plate based on the first-order (FSDT) and higher-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) is presented. The proposed method ...
