## 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

In order to analyze the vibration response of delaminated composite plates of moderate thickness, a FEM model based on a simple higher-order plate theory, which can satisfy the zero transverse shear strain condition on the top and bottom surfaces of plates, has been proposed in this paper. To set up
Inverse square root, l/x/7, singularity characterizes the stress field at the crack tip of homogeneous isotropic elastic media. This 1/x/7 singularity does not, however, hold for cracks present in inhomogeneous solids; such as, a crack terminating at a right angle to bimaterial interface, which is t
