Free vibration analysis of laminated beams with delamination has been presented in this paper. A 2-D plane stress mixed finite element model developed by the authors [G.S. Ramtekkar, Y.M. Desai, A.H. Shah, Natural vibrations of laminated composite beams by using mixed finite element modeling, Journal of Sound and Vibration 257(4) (2002) 635-641.] has been employed. Two models, namely the unconstrained-interface model and the contact-interface model have been proposed for the computation of frequencies and the mode shapes of delaminated beams. Laminated beams with mid-plane delamination as well as off-mid-plane delamination have been considered and the results have been compared with various theoretical and experimental results available in the literature. It has been concluded that the contact-interface model presents a realistic behaviour of the dynamics of delaminated beams whereas the unconstrainedinterface model under-predicts the frequencies, particularly at the higher modes

A six-node, plane-stress mixed finite element model has been developed by using Hamilton's energy principle for the natural vibrations of laminated composite beams. Continuity of the transverse stress and displacement fields has been enforced through the thickness of the laminated beam in the formul
The governing differential equations for the free in-plane vibration of uniform and non-uniform curved beams with variable curvatures, including the effects of the axis extensibility, shear deformation and the rotary inertia, are derived using the extended-Hamilton principle. These equations were th
