✦ Synopsis

A new analysis model, which includes the effects of interfacial damage, geometrical nonlinearity and material nonlinearity, is presented for elasto-plastic laminated plates. Based on the model, the nonlinear equilibrium differential equations for elasto-plastic laminated plates with interfacial damage are established. The finite difference method and iteration method are adopted to solve these equations. The nonlinear static and dynamic behaviors for the elasto-plastic laminated plates under the action of transverse loads are analyzed. Effects of interfacial damage on the stress and displacement distribution and nonlinear dynamic response are discussed in the numerical examples together with the comparison of nonlinear mechanical behaviors between the elastic and elasto-plastic laminated plates. Numerical results show that both the interfacial damage and plastic deformation put obvious influence on the mechanical properties of structures.
