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. ...
Free vibrations of laminated composite shells using the rotation-free plate elements based on Reddy's layerwise discontinuous displacement model
(Elsevier Ltd, 2016)
The goal of this paper is to develop a computational model for the free vibration analysis of laminated composite shells with embedded delaminations. Laminated composite shells of different shape are modeled using the ...
