Review text

Various failure mechanisms involving both local and global deformation mechanisms of layered structures, consisting of differently oriented orthotropic laminae, are investigated with a large deformation finite element analysis. Our aim is to identify the dominant mode which leads to the structural failure under a given boundary condition and geometrical shape. It is assumed that these structures contain initial interlaminar flaws represented by embedded delaminations. Such flaws can play a significant role in defining overall structural integrity and deformation mechanisms. Our study considers two structures with distinguished shapes, both consisting of four layer laminae. The first structure is a flat panel under compressive load, and the second structure is a cylindrical shell subjected to external pressure.
