Abstract: In order to improve the accuracy of the in-plane response of the shear, deformable laminated composite plate theory, a new laminated plate theory has been developed based upon a new variational ...

Abstract: In an effort to construct a continuum model with microstructure for elastic angle-ply laminates, an asymptotic mixture theory with multiple scales is presented in this two-part paper. The theory, ...

Abstract: A Timoshenko beam theory with built-in interlayer slip is developed to facilitate analytical means of simulating the effect of interlayer slip on the stiffness degradation of laminated beam ...

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: A binary mixture theory with microstructure is constructed for symmetric angle-ply laminates with orthotropic laminas for wave motion in arbitrary directions. A numerical study of phase-velocity ...

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 ...

Abstract: A binary mixture theory with microstructure is constructed for unidirectionally fiber-reinforced elastic composites. Model construction is based on an asymptotic scheme with multiple scales and the ...
