Abstract

This paper investigates nonlinear damage response and ultimate collapse of laminates under in-plane and lateral pressure loadings. The in-plane loading was in the form of end-shortening strain, while the lateral pressure was sinusoidal. The plates had initial geometric imperfection to which simply-supported boundary conditions were applied. Ritz techniques with nonlinear strain terms in kinematic relations as well as the first-order shear deformation theory were applied. Hashin and Rotem failure criteria were used for failure analysis. Two models were also employed for degradation of material properties in the plates. The complete ply degradation model was implemented along with the ply region degradation model, in which stiffness reduction was applied only to one region of the ply in which failure had occurred. Note that the stiffness degradation after the failure was investigated as both instantaneous and linear models. In both complete ply and region ply degradation models with instantaneous degradation of material properties, at any location in a ply or region, which has exceeded the given stress criterion, the corresponding stiffness properties are instantaneously degraded throughout that ply or region but with linear material degradation model, the stiffness diminishes gradually and linearly. Finally, the results were then validated against the findings of different references as well as finite element analysis. According to the results, it was seen that in the ply region degradation model, last ply failure loads are generally larger than those of the complete ply degradation model.
