XFEM for Fracture Analysis of Centrally Cracked Laminated Plates Subjected to Biaxial Loads

In the present study, fracture response of centrally cracked symmetric angle ply laminated composite plates subjected to biaxially applied tensile, shear and tensile and shear combined stresses by implementing well established extended finite element method (XFEM) are studied. Typical numerical resu...
