A hybrid exact strip and finite element method for modelling damage in composite plates
Delamination is a frequent cause of failure in laminated structures, particularly under compressive loads. The presence of delaminations in composite laminates reduces their overall stiffness. In addition, delaminations tend to grow rapidly under postbuckling loads, causing further reductions in the...
