Progressive damage analysis of composite layered plates using a mesh reduction method

A mesh reduced method (finite strip method), for non-linear stress analysis based on the tangential stiffness matrix has been developed using the new concept of polynomial finite strip elements, with Mindlin plate bending theory for composite plates. A progressive damage methodology and algorithm fo...
