The effect of matrix cracks on the eigenfrequencies of unsymmetrical, cross-ply laminates is investigated. The cracks are modelled as aligned slit cracks across the ply thickness and transverse to the laminate plane. The distribution of cracks is assumed statistically homogeneous for a given average

Stiffness reduction of cracked [O~/!X$], laminates is analyzed by variational methods on the basis of the principle of minimum complementary energy. For this purpose admissible stress systems are constructed which satisfy equilibrium and all boundary and interface conditions. The optimal stress fiel
The transfer matrix method is used for the numerical solution of both in-plane and out-of-plane free vibration problems of symmetric cross-ply laminated composite beams. The rotary inertia, and both shear and extensional deformation eects, are considered in the analysis. A distributed parameter mode
Two modes of damage in composite laminates are considered: the intralaminar damage (matrix cracking) and the interiaminar damage (interior delamination). Using a vectorial representation of damage as internal variables in a phenomenological theory, relationships between the overall stiffness propert
