摘要
An investigation was performed to obtain the behavior of composite sandwich beams in the presence of predetermined delaminations, due to disbonding between the faceplate and the less rigid core. An analytical model for predicting buckling and describing the postbuckling behavior of the beam was developed. Griffith's fracture energy release rate model was introduced to predict the stability of the delamination propagation under external loading. Parametric studies over a wide range of damage sizes, and composite facings were carried out to study the effects of these parameters on the overall behavior of the beams, as well as its damage tolerance. The results demonstrate that sandwich construction is very 'sensitive' to the presence of predetermined delaminations: premature buckling failure occurs at external loads, which are significantly lower than those corresponding to a 'perfect' sandwich beam. The limit load is obtained before delamination propagation takes place. In 'imperfect' beams with composite faceplates, the layup sequence affects significantly the load carrying capacity of the beam. It was also shown that the proposed model can be used to study the influences of predetermined delaminations in composite beams.
