As one of major failure modes of mechanical structures subjected to periodic loads,
embedded cracks due to fatigue can cause catastrophic failure of machineries …

In this paper, we present analytical and finite element solutions for free vibration analysis of
delaminated composite curved beams by taking into account the effects of shear …

The present paper investigates in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations of laminated composite
beams with through-the-width delamination based on the first-order shear deformation …

A rather new semi-analytical method towards investigating the free vibration analysis of
generally laminated composite beam (LCB) with a delamination is presented. For the first …

In this work dynamic behaviour of a composite beam having delamination is presented. The
model of delamination takes into account a contact interaction between sublaminates …

Analytical solutions are developed to study the free vibrations of rotating Timoshenko beams
with multiple delaminations. The Timoshenko beam theory and both the 'free mode'and …

The dynamic response analysis of a delaminated composite beam with a general lay-up
traversed under an arbitrary moving/non-moving force is presented. By employing the …

In this paper the effect of quasi-periodic excitation was investigated on the dynamic stability
of a delaminated composite beam. The quasi-periodic excitation was obtained by combining …

An improved dynamic analysis of delaminated bi-layer beams is presented in this study with
considerations of transverse shear and delamination tip deformations as well as effects of …

This study describes the dynamic stability of composite cantilever beams subjected to
periodic axial loading with delaminations at pre-set locations. A computer code based on the …
