A laminated plate theory suitable for analyzing delaminations has been derived. The theory is used to study the interaction between the top and bottom sublaminates in the intact region of a delaminated plate. Expressions are derived for the jump in force and moment resultants that occur across the delamination front. Using Irwin's crack closure integral, a simple expression for pointwise strain energy release rate along the delamination front has been derived.
