Summary
In order to investigate the buckling behavior and free vibration analysis of
laminated composite plates including through the width delamination, multiple
model methods (presented by Reddy) are used to present the kinematics of
delamination using the concept of a Heaviside step function. Multiple model
methods are a combination of two displacement fields namely first order shear
deformation and layerwise. In order to present an approximation of the displacement
field for the analysis, the B-spline finite strip method is used. In the model
presented, it is assumed that the variation of in-plane displacement field is in the
form of linear Lagrangian layerwise and the variation of out-of-plane displacement
field is assumed to be constant through the thickness. The results are compared and
verified by the available results in the literature. The influence of length and also the
position of delamination on buckling behavior and natural frequencies of the
structure are investigated.
