Geometric and material nonlinear effects in elastic-plastic and failure analyses of anisotropic laminated structures

In this study, an analytical procedure to predict the strength and failure of laminated composite structures under monotonically increasing static loads is presented. A degenerated 3-D shell finite element that includes linear elastic and plastic material behavior with full geometric nonlinearity is...
