Abstract
Delamination is one of the most common failure modes of laminated composite materials, and can be caused by manufacturing defects or impact loading. Under compression, a delaminated composite plate may buckle and tend to enlarge the delaminated area, which can lead to loss of global structural stability. This paper presents the elastic buckling and post-buckling analysis of an axially loaded beam-plate with an across-the-width delamination, located at a given depth below the upper surface of the plate. The analysis is done by considering a layered orthotropic plate containing through-width delamination, subjected to in-plane compression. The problem is analyzed by two approaches: (i) Through an analytical model using Fourier integral transform for determining the strain energy release rate and (ii) Through a finite element representation of the problem using MSC/ NASTRAN and where the buckling load is computed.
