The design and analysis of composite structures in the form of layered plates or shells is
often driven by stress concentration phenomena that occur due to geometric or material …

Laminates experience three-dimensional singular stress near their free edges due to elastic
mismatches between layers, which can cause delamination. This paper critically evaluates …

Functionally graded materials have widespread applications for the practical engineering
and industry of design and development. In the present work, free vibration and transient …

A scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) framework is introduced for the bending
and free vibration analyses of functionally graded material (FGM) porous plates based on …

This paper proposes a novel intelligent crack damage assessment method by integrating
information and physics, in which automatic crack detection, real-time crack damage …

The layered structures exhibit a weakly singular stress state in the vicinity of free edges,
attributable to the elastic mismatch of adjacent plies, thereby promoting delamination. In the …

A novel approach of polygonal scaled boundary isogeometric analysis is proposed for 2D
elasticity problems involving trimmed geometries. The method addresses the challenge of …

Traditional approaches that rely on stress or energy-based criteria to predict delamination
require the determination of stresses before crack onset or energy release rates after crack …

Application of the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) in free vibration and
transient dynamic problems of the composite magneto-electro-elastic (MEE) cylindrical shell …

The free edges of layered structures require special attention in design processes. Due to
the discontinuous material properties, singular stress concentrations occur where the layer …
