Abstract: An essential part of describing the damage state and predicting the damage growth in a multicracked plate is the accurate calculation of stress intensity factors (SIF). Here, a methodology and ...

Abstract: An analytical solution for the impact response is obtained for the central impact of mass on a simply supported laminated composite plate under prestresses based on the Fourier series expansion and Laplace transform ...

Abstract: A previously developed constitutive model has been modified in order to incorporate the rate dependence of elastic modulus of the polymer matrix constituent into the nonlinear, strain-rate-dependent deformation analysis ...
