A special boundary element for holes/cracks in composite laminates under coupled stretching-bending deformation

Recently, we corrected the Green's functions for holes/cracks in composite laminates under coupled stretching-bending deformation. Through these corrected Green's functions, the fundamental solutions required for the special boundary element of holes/cracks in composite laminates are derived. By the use of dual coordinates, the derived fundamental solutions can be further applied to the cases of inclined holes and cracks. Moreover, a formula...
