This paper presents a new 4-node ΓΏnite-element for the analysis of laminated composite plates. The element is based on a ΓΏrst-order shear deformation theory and is obtained through a mixed-enhanced approach. In fact, the adopted variational formulation includes as variables the transverse shear as w
## Abstract The finite element analysis of delamination in laminated composites is addressed using interface elements and an interface damage law. The principles of linear elastic fracture mechanics are indirectly used by equating, in the case of singleβmode delamination, the area underneath the tr
The analysis of the free-edge stress distributions in composite laminates under uniaxial tension is approached by a finite element technique based on a multi-layer higher-order laminate theory. Several finite elements corresponding to different through-thickness assumed distributions of the displac
