Indentation of a laminated composite plate with an interlayer rectangular void
نویسندگان
چکیده
We employ the Eshelby–Stroh formalism to study generalized plane strain infinitesimal deformations caused due to the indentation by a rigid circular cylinder of an elastic laminated plate with a throughthe-width rectangular void between two adjoining layers. Assuming that the void does not close during the indentation process, we find the indentation modulus (i.e., the slope of the indentation load vs. the indentation depth curve) as a function of the void size, the void position, elastic moduli of the layers, and boundary conditions at the edges. The change in the indentation modulus caused by an interlayer void parallel to the major surfaces of an anisotropic plate can potentially be used to estimate the void size and location. 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Nonlinear Finite Element Eccentric Low-Velocity Impact Analysis of Rectangular Laminated Composite Plates Subjected to In-phase/Anti-phase Biaxial Preloads
All impact analyses performed so far for the composite plates, have treated central impacts. Furthermore, investigations on influences of the in-plane biaxial compression, tension, or tension-compression preloads on various responses of the low-velocity impact, especially the indentation, have not been performed so far. In the present research, a finite element formulation is presented for resp...
