Damage analysis of laminated composite beams under bending loads using the layer-wise theory
A finite element model based on the layer-wise theory and the von Kármán type nonlinear strains is used to analyze damage in laminated composite beams. In the formulation, the Heaviside step function is employed to express the discontinuous interlaminar displacement field at the delaminated interfac...
