Cracks are the major cause for failure and dynamic fracture in different mechanical systems.
For this reason, in this study, a comprehensive study on dynamic behavior of bi-directional …

As one of major failure modes of mechanical structures subjected to periodic loads,
embedded cracks due to fatigue can cause catastrophic failure of machineries …

Delamination is a major damage mode in laminated composite structures which causes
reduction in stiffness and strength and affects their vibration characteristics. This paper deals …

The present work focuses on vibration characteristics of damaged laminated composite
plates. Damage is considered as a local reduction of anisotropic plate stiffness, and three …

In this work dynamic behaviour of a composite beam having delamination is presented. The
model of delamination takes into account a contact interaction between sublaminates …

Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminates are now commonly used in many
structural applications, especially in the aerospace industry, where margins of safety are …

The second-order shear deformation theory is used in this study to calculate the stresses
and the energy release rates in orthotropic composite plates. A novel double-plate system is …

In this study, free vibration of cracked beam in the first vibration mode was considered taking
into account both the structural damping and the damping due to the presence of crack …

In this study, the dynamic instability analysis of rotating delaminated thickness tapered
composite plates with different taper configurations subjected to periodic in-plane loads is …

This paper presents an exact, two-dimensional (2D) quasi-static elastic analysis of
predelaminated composite panels subject to arbitrary transverse pressure loads. The …
