ANALYTICAL-GENERALIZED VARIATIONAL METHOD OF SOLUTION FOR DELAMINATION OF BIMETAL GLUED JOINTS

An analytical method of solution is developed in the delamination analysis of bi-metal glued joints. All of the basic equations, the conditions of continuity along the interface and the boundary conditions on crack surfaces can be satisfied by the analytical method. The other boundary conditions can be satisfied by generalized variational equations. Results show that the convergence is very good and the computation is verv time-saving.
