TI - Calculation of Energy Release Rate in Mode I Delamination of Angle Ply Laminated Composites T2 - The International Conference on Computational \& Experimental Engineering and Sciences PY - 2007 VL - 1 IS - 2 SN - 1933-2815 AB - The compliance equation is used to calculate the energy release rate for angle ply laminated double cantilever composite beam specimen. Instead of the traditional approach of a beam on an elastic foundation, a second order shear thickness deformation beam theory (SSTDBT) has been considered.
