Finite Element Modelling and Buckling Analysis of Delaminated Composite Plates

Krupa Prasad, Aiswarya.S

Abstract: Buckling behavior of delaminated plates subjected to in-plane compressive loads has been studied by means of finite element analysis. The study shows the effect of shape of delamination upon the buckling response of the plate. These findings could be thus used for the evaluation of reliability of the structures such as aircraft, naval, railways etc.
