This work aims to calculate interlaminar stress distribution through the thickness of multilayered composite shell structures by employing a novel nonlinear layer-wise shell finite element formulation. Adapting the Mindlin-Reissner theory in each layer, the shear-deformable layer-wise shell element presents the interlaminar shear stress distributions by increasing the number of layers. The interlaminar normal stress distribution is then determined by the finite difference solution of the general form of equilibrium equation in the non-orthogonal curvilinear grid along the Gaussian points. Two boundary conditions at the bottom and the top surfaces are satisfied by adopting the linear Lagrange interpolation function. The developed formulation is assessed through some illustrative problems solved using a proprietary finite element computer program. The results compare very well with those available in the literature and those obtained by simulations with the commercial finite element software Ansys.

“…within the laminate is a fully three-dimensional problem for which analytical solutions are available only for basic configurations: in general engineering applications, the employment of numerical/computational methods is then necessary. Besides fully three-dimensional approaches, which may be employed to capture complex localized field details (see, e.g., [10]), thin and relatively thick multilayered composite structures have been investigated using suitable plate theories, which are based on specific assumptions about the behavior of some specific field components throughout the laminate thickness and allow reducing the total number of unknowns and thus the computational cost associated with the numerical models: familiar examples are provided by the Kirchhoff and Mindlin kinematic assumptions in the case of purely structural plates, while also the coupling with the electric fields must be considered in piezoelectric plates (see, e.g., [1,11]).…”

In this work, a novel high-order formulation for multilayered piezoelectric plates based on the combination of variable-order interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin methods and general layer-wise plate theories is presented, implemented and tested. The key feature of the formulation is the possibility to tune the order of the basis functions in both the in-plane approximation and the through-the-thickness expansion of the primary variables, namely displacements and electric potential. The results obtained from the application to the considered test cases show accuracy and robustness, thus confirming the developed technique as a supplementary computational tool for the analysis and design of smart laminated devices.

“…Salleh et al 6 had studied the tensile failure of long kenaf and kenaf/woven composites with drilled holes experimentally. Solis et al 7 had analyzed the interlaminar stresses in open-hole laminates subjected to compressive loads using a numerical model, which was implemented with the serial/parallel mixing theory and a continuum damage mechanics approach. To obtain the strength properties of OHLC, more damage models and methods 8,9 were proposed.…”

Laminate composites contain holes as a means of connection in industrial applications. A better understanding of the mechanical properties of open-hole components is necessary. Herein, progressive damage postbuckling analysis models are proposed for investigation of tensile damage and compressive buckling behaviors of open-hole laminate composites. The progressive damage model is based on failure criteria provided by the continuum damage mechanics model; virtual crack closure technology was employed to calculate the energy release rate for crack delamination in compressive postbuckling analysis. The models were utilized to analyze variations in the tensile and compressive mechanical properties, failure process, and buckling evolution of open-hole laminate composites using finite element analysis. The tensile failure patterns and failure processes of plies with different open-hole laminate composite angles were obtained and analyzed. Buckling characteristics, as well as the progression of buckling onset, buckling propagation, crack delamination, unstable delamination, and global buckling, were investigated. The influence of delamination crack length and crack distribution on the buckling properties of open-hole laminate composites are discussed in detail. Additionally, unstable and stable buckling characteristics were examined. The numerical results were in good agreement with theoretical and experimental results; damage initiated at the edge of a hole propagated to two sides with the onset of matrix damage, followed by fiber damage. The fiber damage of a 0°-ply led ultimately to laminate failure. The laminate with a symmetrical crack distribution showed stable buckling, whereas a short, nonsymmetrical distribution of cracks usually led to unstable buckling and delamination.
