Layerwise solution of free vibrations and buckling of laminated composite and sandwich plates with embedded delaminations
(Elsevier Ltd, 2014)
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 ...
A finite element model for propagating delamination in laminated composite plates based on the Virtual Crack Closure method
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
In the paper, a simple and efficient algorithm to track a moving delamination front of arbitrary shape, using a laminated finite plate element model in conjunction with the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT), is proposed. ...
Geometrically nonlinear transient analysis of delaminated composite and sandwich plates using a layerwise displacement model with contact conditions
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)
In the paper, a computational model for the transient response of laminated composite and sandwich plates with existing zones of partial delamination, subjected to dynamic pulse loading is proposed. Laminated composite and ...
