Abstract
A validation of the sublaminate analysis method of Armanios and Rehfield (1989) is provided by comparison of the predictions with a quasi-three-dimensional finite-element analysis. A comparison of the total strain-energy release rate with a classical plate model is also provided. Closed-form expressions for the total strain-energy rate and the strain-energy release-rate components are developed. The sublaminate analysis developed is simple, and the results are generated using a desktop computer.
