Abstract A three-dimensional buckling delamination problem for the sandwich rectangular plate made from elastic and viscoelastic material is studied. It is supposed that the plate contains interface rectangular cracks (Case 1) and interface rectangular edge-cracks (Case 2) and edge-surfaces of these cracks have initial infinitesimal imperfections. The evolution of these initial imperfections with an external compressive loading acting along the cracks (for a case where the materials of layers of the plate are elastic) or with duration of time (for a case where the materials of layers of the plate are viscoelastic) is investigated within the framework of the piecewise homogeneous… More >
