On the Effect of Bonding in a Laminated Composite.

Abstract

The influence of the degree of bonding (ranging from perfect bond to smooth contact) between the matrix and the reinforcing layers on an unbounded, laminated, composite medium in plane strain is investigated. To this end springs are introduced between each layer. The governing equations are established within the framework of Effective Stiffness Theory. The effect of the degree of bonding on the dispersion relations of longitudinal and transverse plane harmonic waves propagating along and normal to the layering is determined. (Author)
