On the Finite Element Free Vibration Analysis of Delaminated Layered Beams: A New Assembly Technique

The dynamic analysis of flexible delaminated layered beams is revisited. Exploiting Boolean vectors, a novel assembly scheme is developed which can be used to enforce the continuity requirements at the edges of delamination region, leading to a delamination stiffness term. The proposed assembly tech...
