Abstract
A closed form solution is developed for predicting the critical load o f a composite beam-plate with multiple delaminations. The characterist ic equation is derived by using non-linear beam theory, performing pro per linearization and by imposing the appropriate kinematical continui ty and equilibrium conditions. The effects of the dimensions and locat ions of the delaminations on the critical load are investigated and th e results are compared with previously published data. (C) 1998 Elsevi er Science Ltd.
