Abstract: In order to improve the accuracy of in-plane responses of shear deformable composite plate theories, a new laminated plate theory was developed for arbitrary laminate configurations based upon ...

Abstract: An asymptotic mixture theory of fiber-reinforced composites with periodic microstructure is presented for rate-independent inelastic responses, such as elastoplastic deformation. Key elements are the ...

Abstract: An asymptotic mixture theory of bi-laminated composites with periodic microstructure is presented for rate-independent inelastic responses, such as elastic-plastic deformation. Key elements are the ...

Abstract: Layered plates that experience interlayer slip at a precracked interface such as a construction joint of reinforced concrete slabs or the interface of nailed wooden plates may exhibit significant stiffness degradation. In ...
