Abstract
The mechanical behavior of cross-ply laminates loaded under in-plane compression containing matrix cracks and delaminations is investigated in order to study their influence on the structural stability behavior. This is done by employing a semi-analytical modelling approach which comprises an analytical framework for a structural stability analysis of damageable structures and the Equivalent Constrained Model for deriving reduced stiffness properties of the cracked layers. Cross-ply laminates with varying delamination depths as well as varying matrix crack densities are studied.
