Contributor Kassapoglou, C. (mentor) Faculty Aerospace Engineering Department Aerospace Structures & Materials Date 2016-10-14 Abstract A one-dimensional analytical solution to predict buckling-induced delamination growth was developed toward an efficient and effective engineering application. The postbuckling solution for a composite beam was first obtained with nonlinear deflection approximations based on 'thin film' assumption. An interlaminar stress analysis method was then developed for prediction with stress failure criteria. An energy release rate based method was also used for comparison. Results from both methods were compared to existing experimental and numerical results and showed good agreement.
