ADVANCES IN THE STUDIES ON DELAMINATIONS BUCKLING AND GROWTH OF AXIAL-COMPRESSION LAMINATE

Deiaminations and their further growth can reduce strength of laminates. This paper introduces the general concepts and classification of delaminations briefly. The investigative survey of delaminations is introduced through one-dimensional delaminations, two-delamina tions and delaminations in cylindrical shells. It is pointed out that the bending-stretching coupling and transverse shear have great influence on buckling load and characteristics of post-buckling of the delaminational structure. The buckling...
