Abstract

The deflection behavior of laminated shell structure with combined damages (crack/delamination) under mechanical loading is presented numerically and verified with subsequent experimental results. In this article, the damaged layer structure is modeled mathematically using higher-order (third-order) polynomials and the finite element method. The variational method is employed to obtain the final governing equation for the shell model. The results are obtained computationally using a computer code developed in a MATLAB environment. The consistency of the current mathematical model is confirmed by performing a convergence test, and the model's validity is checked further by equating the solution with published data in the open domain. Finally, some examples are presented to observe the combined effect of delamination (various shapes and sizes) and/or crack (different orientations), including various input parameters (modular ratio, curvature ratio, thickness ratio, boundary restriction) on the deflection behavior of laminated curved shell structure under mechanical loading.
