Kharghani, N. and Guedes Soares, C. (2022), “Application of Layerwise HSDT and fracture analysis in the ultimate strength of composite plates with delamination in bending”, International Journal of Solids and Structures, Vol. 234-235, 111263.
To obtain the flexural response and the load-carrying capacity of composite plates with delamination, an efficient closed-form analytical solution is presented. Layerwise Higher-order Shear Deformation Theory and Rayleigh-Ritz approximation technique are applied. Fracture analysis is used to obtain the load-carrying capacity and primary steps of delamination propagation. The results include continuous functions. Furthermore, a considerable experimental study has been performed with specimens of various geometries and delamination types. The experimental investigation includes the fabrication procedure, tension experiments to obtain material properties and three-point bending tests of the delaminated plates.
