Effect of Location of Delamination on Free Vibration of Cross-Ply Conical Shells

Location of delamination is a triggering parameter for structural instability of laminated composites. In this paper, a finite element method is employed to determine the effects of location of delamination on free vibration characteristics of graphite-epoxy cross-ply composite pre-twisted shallow c...
