On Moeling of Laminated Composite Structures Featuring Interlaminae Imperfections

摘要

A theory of multilayered anisotropic plates featuring interlaminae imperfections in the form of interlayer slip is presented. The theory rests upon a representation of the displacement field which: i) fultills a priori the transverse shear stress continuity conditions at each interfece of the laminate and the free traction on the top and bottom external planes of the plate, ii) satisfies the requirement of continuous displacements at the perfectly bonded interfaces, and iii) allows for jumps in the in-plane displacements when slip-type interlayer imperfections are present.
