| description abstract | In this paper, we consider the interlayer slidable friction structures on soft-substrate as the hardcover book-like-laminated-plates with internal friction on the Winkler foundation. For a quasi-static problem, a detailed analysis of the bending response and energy dissipation is carried out for a three-point-supported layered plate on the Winker foundation. Our numerical investigations show that the hardcover, friction, and substrate have a great influence on bending response, and in particular, the friction can cause a considerable amount of energy dissipation within per loading–unloading cycle. The study is not only to predict the mechanical interactions behavior in-between of geometry, friction, elasticity, and substrate but also as a representative case to help finding some clue on the universal behaviors of interlayer slidable friction structures on soft-substrate. | |
