The effect of multi-directional stiffness degradation on the non-linear analysis of composite laminates

A formulation of element-based Lagrangian 9-node shell element based modified first-order shear deformation theory is improved for non-linear behaviors of composite laminates containing matrix cracking. Using the refined ANS (assumed natural strain) shell elements either show the optimum combination...
