Stability of laminated composites with delaminations by Yap, Chun Wee

“…Various parametric studies are then conducted and they include boundary condition, type of composite materials, number of layers, ply orientation, stacking sequence, through-the-thickness location of the delamination, delamination length and along-the-span position of the delamination. For all the single-delaminated and multi-delaminated thin composite beams cases that are examined, the CLT methods 2 and 3 are able to form the desired upper and lower bounds, respectively, for the actual buckling loads. …”

Study on mechanism and influential factors of progressive collapse resistance of base-isolated structure by Bao, Chao, Zhang, Yuhang, Lv, Dahai, Wang, Huxiang, Ma, Xiaotong, Cao, Jixing, Lim, Kar Sing

“…The results show that the non-uniformity of the beams and the concentrated loading at the nodes were easy to form a linear catenary mechanism, resulting in more severe beam end damage than mid-span damage. In the case of side isolation bearing failure, due to the lack of sufficient lateral restraint, the capacity was significantly lower than other conditions, which were more likely to cause partly collapse. …”
