The paper deals with numerical modeling of delamination of laminate plate consists of unidirectional fiber reinforced layers. The methodology adopts the first-order shear laminate plate theory and fracture and contact mechanics. There are described sublaminate modeling and delamination modeling by the help of finite element analysis. With the interface modeling there is calculated the energy release rate along the lamination front. Numerical results are given for mixed mode delamination problems by implementing the method in a 2D finite analysis, which utilizes shear deformable plate elements and interface elements. Numerical example is done by the commercial ANSYS code.

Sound radiation from shear deformable stiffened laminated plates with multiple compliant layers is theoretically studied. Equations of motion for the composite laminated plates are on the basis of the first-order shear deformation plate theory, and the transfer matrix method is used to describe sound transmission through compliant layers. The first and second sets of stiffeners interact with the plate through normal line forces. By using the Fourier transform and stationary phase method, the far-field sound pressure is obtained in terms of analytical expressions. Comparisons are made between the first-order shear deformation plate theory and the classical thin plate theory. Three principal conclusions are drawn in the study. (1) The transverse point force acting on the stiffeners yields lower far-field sound pressure in the middle and high frequency range. Specifically, the transverse point force exerting on the large stiffeners produces the lowest far-field sound pressure among three different reactive points at the plate, small stiffener and large stiffener. (2) The far-field sound pressure spectra are confined by an acoustic circle and remain unchanged. Lots of flexural waves in the structure cannot radiate sound into the far field. (3) The sound attenuation of stiffened plates with compliant layers is mainly caused by the sound isolation of compliant layers rather than vibrational reduction. Compliant layers can effectively reduce the radiated sound pressure in the medium and high frequency range.
