Buckling and postbuckling analysis of delaminated beams under compressive loads

Two different studies are carried out to understand the influence of geometric parameters on the buckling behavior of a delaminated beam. In the first part, a simple model for predicting the linearized buckling of a composite beam with multiple delaminations is described. The study employs an energy method and arbitrary assumed displacements. Lagrange multipliers are used to enforce the kinematic constraints and boundary conditions, enabling a variety of support conditions to be studied.
