Buckling behaviour of delaminated composite plates using exact stiffness analysis

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the local and global buckling behaviour of delaminated composite plates using exact stiffness analysis. Several attempts are made to model delamination with the accuracy of detailed 3D finite element analysis (FEA) but substantially improved computational eff...
