Xg. Wang et al., CONSTITUTIVE RELATION AND STIFFNESS DEGRADATION OF CRACKED ANISOTROPIC COMPOSITE LAMINATES(II) - DETERMINATION OF RESOLVED STIFFNESS AND INVESTIGATION OF STIFFNESS DEGRADATION FOR CRACKED LAMINATES, Applied mathematics and mechanics, 19(6), 1998, pp. 555-561
The study on property degradation of damaged composite laminates is ex
tended to anisotropic laminates with matrix cracking. In (II) of the p
aper, a solution for partitioned stiffness is given to complete the co
nstitutive relations developed in (I). The stiffness degradation in (t
heta(m)/90(n))(s) cracked laminates is calculated and the results are
discussed.
