A Multilayer Delaminated Composite Beam and Plate Elements: Reflections of Lamb Waves at Delamination

New beam and plate spectral elements are developed for global analysis of laminated beams and plates containing delamination. The elements are based on a simple kinematic assumption to account for delamination. In order to model the wave propagation behavior accurately the spectral element method ha...

Description
Summary:New beam and plate spectral elements are developed for global analysis of laminated beams and plates containing delamination. The elements are based on a simple kinematic assumption to account for delamination. In order to model the wave propagation behavior accurately the spectral element method has been utilized. A study of delamination influence on wave propagation has been performed.
