| Summary: | a way as to compare with the solution for an isolated crack are derived using the layerwise laminate theory of Reddy. A Cross-ply laminates and angle-ply laminates with transverse displacements at different crack densities were normalized in distribution of transverse cracks, has been derived using the effective axial modulus is in very good agreement with experimental results, and was found to approach a fixed value field variables in a typical representative volume element finite element solution of the equations of the layerwise in an infinite isotropic plane elastic body. The mechanics modulus at lower crack densities. The crack opening of load transfer has been examined in detail based on the plies containing through-width matrix cracks across the principle of minimum potential energy. The boundary value principle of superposition. The equations governing the problem associated with the cracked body is solved using the staggered and non-staggered cracking. Laminates with staggered cracks showed a greater reduction in effective stiffness of the cracked laminates with a uniform stresses in the representative volume element. that of Hashin. An upper bound on the effective axial theory is also developed. The predicted reduction in the thickness of the transverse plies are studied using a variational, strain energy based approach, complementary to with increase in crack density, for laminates with both |
