Abstract
Variational analysis of cracked laminates with imperfect inter-laminar interface is developed on the basis of a generalized extemum principle of thermoelastic complementary energy. Closed form results for effective Young’s modulus, thermal expansion coefficient, shear modulus and internal stresses are developed for cracked cross-ply laminates. The results provide an assessment of the significance of interlaminar imperfection.
