Description
Summary:A layerwise finite element formulation based on B-spline function is used to study dynamic instability of damped laminated composite plates with embedded delaminations in this article. The out-of-plane variation of in-plane displacement components are interpolated by Linear Lagrange interpolation function and the in-plane variation of in-plane and out-of-plane displacement fields are interpolated by B-spline functions. Delamination between layers of composite plate is modeled by jump discontinuities in displacement fields using Heaviside functions. In the delaminated region, virtual springs are added to prevent interpenetration of lower and upper sublaminates. The local buckling of thinner sublaminate is observed when delamination is placed near the top/bottom interface. The dynamic instability regions are computed by Bolotin's method. The effects of delamination lengths and its position on the natural frequencies, mode shapes, buckling loads and dynamic instability regions of the composite plates with various boundary conditions are examined. Both uniform and non-uniform periodic edge loading in the form of concentrated and partial edge loading are considered. Furthermore, the effect of damping on the dynamic instability regions of composite plate is studied. From the linear and nonlinear responses in the stable and unstable regions, various characteristics such as beats, its dependence on forcing frequency and damping are observed.
