In conventional analyses of composite laminates, the assumption of perfect bonding of adjoining layers is well accepted, although this is an oversimplification of the reality. It is possible that the bond strength may be less than that of the laminae. Thus, the study of weak bonding is an interesting focus area. In this study, an elastic bonding model based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity in a layerwise framework is used to study composite laminates. The differential quadrature (DQ) discretization is used to analyze the layerwise model. The present model enables the simulation of actual bonding stress states in laminated structures. The interfacial characteristics of transverse stress continuity as well as the kinematic continuity conditions are satisfied through the inclusion of the elastic bonding layer. The present model is employed to investigate the free vibration of thick rectangular cross-ply laminates of different boundary conditions and lamination schemes.

This paper presents an analytical solution to the problem of local buckling induced by delamination of a layered plate. Delamination growth and buckling is an observed failure mode in laminated structures subjected to compressive loads. Previous analytical studies of the phenomenon rest upon simplifying structural and geometric approximations. The purpose of this paper is to present solutions for this problem using the classical three-dimensional theory of elasticity to predict the buckled equilibrium state. Solutions to the problem of a plate with a circular delamination subjected to axisymmetric and uniaxial in-plane compressive loadings are obtained using mathematical techniques appropriate for mixed boundary value problems.

Moduli Of Elasticity

This investigation was undertaken to develop a rigorous mathe matical solution of stress and strain for a composite pole con sisting of a reinforced plastics jacket laminated on a solid wood core. The wood and plastics are treated as orthotropic materials. The problem of bending of such poles as cantilever beams has been determined by the application of the principles of three- dimensional theory of elasticity. Values of all components of the stress tensor in cylindrical coordinates are given for the core and jacket. Exact values for the stresses have been obtained from computer results, using the basic elastic constants—Poisson's ratios, moduli of elasticity and moduli of rigidity—for each ma terial. A comparison of the numerical results of the exact solu tion with strength of materials solutions has been completed.
