| Abstract: | An analytical model for kink band deformations occurring in laminated composites is proposed based on geometric and potential energy principles. Whilst nonlinear material behaviour and imperfections are included the model considers a symmetric, multi-directional laminate lay-up where the kink band is assumed to occur in the central 0° laminae. First results compared to data in the literature are presented offering encouragement. (© 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) |
