Numerical optimization approach to modelling delamination and buckling of geometrically constrained structures.

چکیده
Understanding what happens in terms of delamination during buckling of laminate materials is of importance across a range of engineering sectors. Normally concern is that the strength of the material is not significantly impaired. Carton-board is a material with a laminate structure and, in the initial creation of carton nets, the board is creased in order to weaken the structure. This means that when the carton is eventually folded into its three-dimensional form, correct folding occurs along the weakened crease lines. Understanding what happens during creasing and folding is made difficult by the nonlinear nature of the material properties. This paper considers a simplified approach which extends the idea of minimizing internal energy so that the effects of delamination can be handled. This allows a simulation which reproduces the form of buckling-delamination observed in practice and the form of the torque-rotation relation.

Size Effect of Cohesive Delamination Fracture Triggered by Sandwich Skin Wrinkling
APPROACH: Buckling driven delamination is difficult to control in experiments. Thus, the present study relies on numerical simulations using geometrically nonlinear finite element analysis as well as the softening foundation model, which is an adaptation of Winkler elastic foundation. Delamination fracture is modeled by a cohesive crack model. Dimensionless variables are used to cover the entir...

متن کاملBuckling Behavior of Composite Plates with a Pre-central Circular Delamination Defect under in-Plane Uniaxial Compression
Delamination is one of the most common failure modes in composite structures. In the case of in-plane compressional loading, delamination of a layered flat structure can cause a local buckling in delaminated area which subsequently affects the overall stiffness of the initial structure. This leads to an early failure of the overall structure. Moreover, with an increase in load, the delaminated ...
