The three thermal effects, which are caused by rapid laser heating and influence the structure's dynamic behavior, are material property degradation, burn-out and induced thermal loading. To determine temperature distribution and material burn-out due to the high laser energy deposition, a modified Crank-Nicholson finite difference scheme, which includes the effects of surface ablation, degradation of thermophysical properties at elevated temperatures and heat losses from radiation and convection, was employed. The predicted thermal results were then used for thermal loading calculation and, subsequently, forced vibration analysis. Both small and large deflection composite plate theories were adopted. The inclusion of temperature-dependent mechanical properties in the analysis was also of particular importance. It was shown that the escalation or reduction of vibration response of a laminated composite subjected to transverse loads by laser irradiation depends not only upon the laser intensity, but also, which plate surface is irradiated. It was also found that a higher power laser irradiation ensures neither greater escalation not reduction of the vibration.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100298,"journal":{"name":"Composites Engineering","volume":"5 9","pages":"Pages 1135-1147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0961-9526(95)00049-S","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91754484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are displacement assumed approach, displacement assumed/equilibrium approach and mixed two-field approach. The fundamental concept in all of the three approaches is that “deficient” polynomials have to be used for the through-the-thickness displacement approximation. Bernstein polynomials, having discontinuous first derivatives at the interfaces, are used as approximation functions in the through-the-thickness direction. The examples of a double-sine distributed surface load on 3-ply, 9-ply, and sandwich plates examined by Pagano are solved. It is shown that the results obtained with all three present approaches agree excellently with the closed form solution, for the length-to-thickness aspect ratios ranging from 2–100. A comparison between the results obtained with the deficient and with the continuously differentiable displacement approximations is also presented. This reveals that polynomial approximations that are continuously differentiable through the whole thickness of a laminate, provide qualitatively incorrect transverse stresses at the interfaces. By increasing the degree of the polynomial, one gets two distinct <em>from the top</em> and <em>from the bottom</em> limits for any transverse stress component on the interfaces. On the contrary, when using deficient approximation functions one obtains the same <em>from the top</em> and <em>from the bottom</em> limits for the transverse stresses on the interfaces.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100298,"journal":{"name":"Composites Engineering","volume":"5 9","pages":"Pages 1105-1126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0961-9526(94)00080-S","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87361068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The surface integral method, based upon a distribution of singular fundamental solutions, is used to represent both the cracks and the coupled interfacial sliding zone. The interfacial frictional tractions are assumed to satisfy a Coulomb relationship and are determined iteratively from the stress induced by the matrix crack, the stress induced by the developing slip, and the initial normal compressive interfacial stress (i.e. from setting or thermal mismatch). Simulations of an initially long straight crack front moving toward and past a fiber for different interfacial frictional characteristics were conducted. The implications for tailoring fiber/matrix interfaces to optimize the global toughening effect are discussed. If the interface between fiber and matrix is cohesive enough (but not too cohesive) then tractions which develop at the interface may effectively retard the local growth of a matrix crack. Raising the friction coefficient (or cohesion) at the interface must, however, be balanced against the potential for fiber failure in the high stress zone near the matrix crack periphery.
