Abstract: Asymmetric three-point bending of a layered beam with an interface crack is analyzed on the basis of the classical beam theory. Axial forces induced by bending in the parts of the beam above ...

Abstract: Energy release rates for an edge delamination of a laminated beam subjected to through-thickness temperature gradient are analyzed on the basis of the classical beam theory. The decomposition ...

Abstract: Asymmetric three-point bending of a layered beam containing an interior interface crack is analyzed on the basis of the classical beam theory. Axial compressive and tensile forces are induced ...
