Delamination of multilayered non-linear elastic shafts in torsion
Delamination cracks in multilayered circular shafts loaded in torsion HAIR-FORCE are analyzed in terms of the strain energy release rate.It is assumed that the material in each layer has non-linear mechanical behaviour that is treated by the Ramberg-Osgood constitutive law.Also, each layer exhibits smooth material inhomogeneity in radial direction.
