The change in critical load value of both compositelaminate plates with embedded and through-width delamination shows the same pattern for various delamination size.
The method was also used to measure strain in the tensile test of a compositelaminate plate. The results agree fairly well with those obtained by the conventional measurement.
Parametric FEM technique is used to analyze the mechanical performance and structural reliability of compositelaminate structures. The parametric FEM code based on ANSYS is given.
