Seyyed Amir Mahdi Ghannadpour; H.R. Ovesy; M. Nassirnia

Volume 8, Issue 1 , March 2011, , Pages 11-19

Abstract
  ABSTRACT This paper presents the theoretical developments of two finite strip methods (i.e. semi-analytical and full-analytical) for the post-buckling analysis of isotropic plates. In the semi-analytical finite strip approach, all the displacements are postulated by the appropriate shape functions while ...  Read More

Compressional Stability Behavior of Composite Plates with Multiple Through-the-Width Delaminations

H.R. Ovesy

Volume 5, Issue 1 , March 2008, , Pages 13-22

Abstract
  In this paper, the compressive behavior of composite laminates with multiple through-the-width delaminations is investigated analytically. The analytical method is based on the CLPT theory and its formulation is developed on the basis of the Rayleigh-Ritz approximation technique to analyze the buckling ...  Read More
